Publisher's Synopsis
This is Volume 4 in the Midwifery: best practice series. Each of the volumes in this Series is built around the familiar core of four main topic areas relevant to midwifery (pregnancy, labour / birth, postnatal and stories / reflection) but also includes a number of "focus on." sections. These are different in each volume and reflect a wide range of key and topical issues within midwifery. Each volume builds upon the others to provide a comprehensive library of articles that shows the development of thought in key midwifery areas. Volume 4 offers a range of wholly new topic areas within the "focus on." sections, including "communities of women", "birth centres" and "exploring diversity".
