Product Description
The aim of this book is to be a core textbook of anatomy and physiology in childbearing. Written to present childbearing in the context of changes to non-pregnant physiology; therefore, both anatomy and physiology, their changes in pregnancy, and pathophysiology are all described. The book is divided into four sections - preconception, pregnancy, labour and puerperium - and it places childbearing in a total biological context so that concepts are drawn from disciplines such as evolution, ecology, biochemistry and cell biology. At all times, the text is related to practice and care giving.

Customer Reviews
Core text, possibly to replace Myles / Mayes in the future
This core text will assist all midwives in the basic needs of the childbearing woman. It contains more depth than Mayes / Myles basic texts, but unfortunately Stables references their work an incredible amount.Most of the diagrams and pictures are from these basic texts, and to get a clearer idea, diffrent pictures would have been an advantage. The text is more critical and therefore appropriate for the degree student and those wishing to improve their practice. A good buy generally, but unnecessary if you already have a basic midwifery text.
Excellent text book for student midwives.
I have found this book to be very easy to read, the text is broken up by diagrams and illistrations which always help to put things into perspectus. A must have book for all student midwives. EXCELLENT
a heavy going book that has all information needed
this book is very good and goes into physiology in relation to midwifery in some detail. although i thought it would have been better than it was. you will need some background knowledge on anatomy and physiology to find it useful.
