A Midwife's Handbook is designed to provide practicing
nurse midwives and obstetric nurses with quick access to important clinical information. It is a comprehensive reference that offers brief overviews of pregnancy, the intrapartum and postpartum periods, as well as gynecological and medical conditions that impact
childbearing. Complications are described and a brief overview of medical management is included for giving women anticipatory guidance when they are referred for physician care. The midwifery management also incorporates complementary measures such as herbal remedies,
reflexology, Chinese medicine and nutritional strategies.
I initially bought this book during my midwifery training. It covers almost everything you would need to know to care for your patients from puberty to menopause. Constance also includes alternative… I suppose you might call me biased because I not only love this book, but have the honor of working with Constance as a labor nurse on the unit where she is a midwife. This book is just fantastic…
