What is it like to help and support women throughout pregnancy and childbirth and into motherhood? What roles can midwives play in society?   Becoming a Midwife explores what it is to be a midwife, looking at the factors that make midwifery such a special profession, as well as some of the challenges. The chapters cover a variety of settings and several different stages in a woman’s pregnancy. Each one is narrated by a midwife who introduces their own theme, recounts a vignette that throws light on their understanding of midwifery and reasons for becoming a midwife and any subsequent career moves. Drawing together these insights, the editors show what it means to be a midwife today.   Suitable for those contemplating a career in midwifery and providing an opportunity for reflection for more experienced midwives, this thought-provoking book is an invaluable contribution to midwifery.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49511060209937,"sku":"GOR002585889","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415464382.jpg?v=1751007250"},{"product_id":"bereavement-in-childbearing-book-rosemary-mander-9780632038268","title":"Bereavement in Childbearing","description":"Bereavement is commonly perceived as a negative event with unpleasant or harmful consequences. Women and their families suffer when the care they receive is inadequate. Midwives suffer when they are unable or do not know how to provide adequate care. All too frequently midwives recognize when things do go wrong but do not know why. This book considers the ways in which the midwife can recognize and assist the mother and family to embark on a healthy grieving process and covers topics such as miscarriage, termination, perinatal and neonatal loss. The needs of the midwife encountering such situations are also considered.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49581486866705,"sku":"GOR002837535","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50263481418001,"sku":"GOR003640774","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0632038268.jpg?v=1751136640"},{"product_id":"politics-of-maternity-book-rosemary-mander-9780415697415","title":"The Politics of Maternity","description":"The evidence surrounding the skills and approaches to support good birth has grown exponentially over the last two decades, but so too have the obstacles facing women and midwives who strive to achieve good birth.   This new book critically explores the complex issues surrounding contemporary childbirth practices in a climate which is ever more medicalised amidst greater insecurity at broad social and political levels. The authors offer a rigorous, and thought-provoking, analysis of current clinical, managerial and policy-making environments, and how they have prevented sustaining the kind of progress we need. The Politics of Maternity explores the most hopeful developments such as the abundant evidence for one-to-one care for women, and sets these accounts against the background of changes in health service organisation and provision that block these approaches from becoming an everyday occurrence for women giving birth. The book sets out the case for renewed attention to the politics of childbirth and what this politics must entail if we are to give birth back to women.   Designed to help professionals cope with the transition from education to the reality of the system within which they learn and practise, this inspiring book will help to assist them to function and care effectively in a changing health care environment.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49591657431313,"sku":"GOR010113134","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52418325905681,"sku":"NLS9780415697415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53097533735185,"sku":"GOR014738663","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53559297310993,"sku":"NIN9780415697415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415697417.jpg?v=1751039268"},{"product_id":"failure-to-progress-book-rosemary-mander-9780415235587","title":"Failure to Progress","description":"Changes in the field of midwifery are of concern to those within the health care system, the academic world and those whose lives are touched by midwifery care. This text reflects on the current situation and questions whether it is the most appropriate way of providing care for the childbearing woman. The book discusses what is happening both within midwifery as well as to midwifery as a profession in the context of social change. Topics covered include:  * the evolution of the midwifes role * women's issues * the functioning of the midwife within the health care system * the effects of organisational change * the relationships of the midwife with the woman she cares for and with medical practitioners.  All of the contributors to Failure to Progress are actively involved with the provision of care to the childbearing woman, and most are practising midwives. Together they build up a comprehensive picture of midwifery today which will be relevant to all midwifery students, practitioners and policy makers and not least to the consumers of midwifery care.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49613564018961,"sku":"GOR005607135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49997758234897,"sku":"GOR003596987","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415235588.jpg?v=1751260812"},{"product_id":"supportive-care-and-midwifery-book-rosemary-mander-9780632054251","title":"Supportive Care and Midwifery","description":"This book considers the broad range of support given to mothers including social, psychological and clinical. It also looks at the provision of this service and how different models have been set up internationally to fulfill this important function. It brings together the latest research findings, which examine the nature of care that is provided and consider what constitutes effective and efficient support. This aspect of care is considered a crucial part of the increasing and expanding role of the midwife. The ability of midwives to provide ongoing support throughout childbearing is one of the features of midwifery care which distinguishes it from other care providers. This is a feature which is common to the resurgence of midwifery throughout the world and therefore this text will have international appeal.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49997787758865,"sku":"GOR004132931","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51181270532369,"sku":"NIN9780632054251","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52131296215313,"sku":"NLS9780632054251","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0632054255.jpg?v=1751199293"},{"product_id":"pain-in-childbearing-and-its-control-book-rosemary-mander-9781405195683","title":"Pain in Childbearing and its Control","description":"Focusing on the mother's experience of pain and her contribution to its control, this accessible text covers the background to historical and scientific understanding of pain and considers methods of researching and measuring pain.  Now in its 2nd edition, Pain in Childbearing and its Control explores pregnancy, labour and puerperal pain, along with fetal and neonatal pain. As well as approaching the topic in considerable depth, the word 'pain' is interpreted broadly. Throughout the text, research-based theoretical approaches to pain and pain control are presented within the context of care. The possibility of caring interventions being iatrogenic, or aggravating the woman's pain, lends this book a perceptively political orientation. Pain in Childbearing and its Control will be invaluable to midwives and a wide range of care providers who seek to assist the woman in coping with her experience of childbearing and any associated pain.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50037610152209,"sku":"GOR012102302","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1405195681.jpg?v=1751240649"},{"product_id":"tener-o-ser-book-rosemary-mander-9788437501703","title":"Tener O Ser?","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50514813518097,"sku":"GOR013981185","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51421117612305,"sku":"GOR014268566","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/8437501709.jpg?v=1751033463"},{"product_id":"complementary-methods-of-controlling-labour-pain-book-rosemary-mander-9781902499925","title":"Complementary Methods of Controlling Labour Pain","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51313856446737,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51313858904337,"sku":"GOR013842095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1902499921.jpg?v=1751061319"},{"product_id":"becoming-a-midwife-book-rosemary-mander-9780415660099","title":"Becoming a Midwife","description":"What is it like to help and support women throughout pregnancy and childbirth and into motherhood?
