Antenatal Midwifery Skills

About this book

This pocket-sized book, presented in an easy-to-follow alphabetical format, is designed as a tool for students and professionals to carry in any setting, providing a quick reference guide to antenatal care and related anatomy and physiology.

This latest edition of Antenatal Midwifery Skills has been updated to reflect the most up-to-date guidance around the care of childbearing women. The first in a set of three books which together guide readers along each step in the journey from pregnancy to postnatal/neonatal care, Antenatal Midwifery Skills provides all the crucial information relating to the antenatal part of the childbearing process. Students have access to revision of related anatomy and physiology alongside current national guidance. Step-by-step processes for skills relating to this area can support student learning in the practice setting. Topics include antenatal screening, managing medical conditions such as cholestasis, CTG interpretation, midwives' exemptions and much more.

Used as a platform for wider reading, this text is an ideal reference point for any student or professional involved with the care of childbearing women.
