The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook 3E by Vicky Chapman
The third edition of The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook offers an essential guide for both student midwives and experienced practising midwives. This well-regarded text promotes normality and woman-centred care, using research, evidence-based guidelines and anecdotal accounts from women.
With this latest edition, the authors have supplied a guide to contemporary midwifery practice that will be useful to both new and experienced midwives, and indeed to anyone involved with the care of mother and baby in the labour and birth settingHighly recommended. (Nursing Times, 5 August 2014) This is a useful book, written at a level that students can clearly follow and easily understand. (Doody s, 7 March 2014) It is not an exhaustive textbook of midwifery practice, but, rather, a very helpful handbook that the student will find invaluable for review and the experienced, seasoned midwife can use to maintain currency with evidence-based practice. (Birth, 3 September 2013) The Midwife's Labour and Birth Handbook appears in its third updated edition to provide a fine survey fully revised and updated for the latest midwifery practices. From professional questions in birthing options and recommendations based on anticipated issues to breech births, skin-to-skin contact at birth, and guidelines based on poor evidence and how to overcome them, this is a solid reference that includes new color photos, suturing diagrams to assist left-handed midwives, and expanded chapters on malposition and slow labor. At each step of the birth, midwifery requirements and recommendations are covered in depth, making for a fine reference loaded with bibliographical references and best practices based on the latest research.
