Choosing a Nurse-Midwife: Your Guide to Safe, Sensitive Care During Pregnancy and the Birth of Your Child
Studies show that midwife-assisted births are as safe or even safer than births with physicians-midwives have much lower C-section and complication rates and their services cost roughly half of those of obstetricians. Illustrates how certified nurse-midwives offer a more personal, holistic and comprehensive approach to birth and well-woman care than traditional OB/Gyn. Explains exactly what a midwife visit entails and outlines the midwife philosophy of highly personal, natural care. Covers hospital, birth centers and home birth options.

Great Choice but remember the men too
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I am a nurse midwife and I believe the women in midwifery need to stop the nonsence of this female dominated profession. We should all be professional and allow gender not to be an issue. Men and women can be doctor, why not midwives. Well the book is great but step out of the women only seen.
