Description
To practice effectively, midwives need to continually update theirknowledge of pregnancy and birth. This fully revised and updatednew edition of The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook is apractical and accessible guide to providing midwifery care whilepromoting 'women-centred' care and normality. It explores importantquestions such as: * Why are women not encouraged to make a birth plan for electiveCS? * If a VBAC woman declines continuous CTG monitoring then whyshouldn't she use a waterbirth pool? * If shoulder dystocia is anticipated, why not encourage all-foursbirth in preference to a semi-recumbent position? * Why are the needs of the delivering professional so often putbefore the advantages of upright postures for promoting descent ofa second twin? This new edition incorporates the latest research and nationalguidelines, and includes new chapters on twins, caesarean section,bullying, risk management and IOL. By bringing together the latestmidwifery information in a woman-centred way, The Midwife's Labourand Birth Handbook is an essential guide for both student midwivesand experienced practising midwives.
