Reviews

This is by far the best midwifery textbook I have read…it covers everything a midwifery student would need to know and I believe it is a fantastic buy - definitely a ‘must have’ for a budding midwife....

This book is ‘a must’ for all those currently training as well as those who are qualified. It covers in depth studies of conception to birth and postpartum. There is also the website for self-testing, a valuable addition to this excellent book….
