Told in the mesmerizing voice of the midwife’s daughter, Midwives depicts the aftermath of the tragedy.

Midwives have an increasingly important role in the management of drugs during pregnancy, labour and the postnatal period. This book should meet the needs of busy midwives (practitioners, students and teachers) by providing a detailed review of the principles of pharmacology and the drugs prescribed in normal and abnormal pregnancy. Throughout the text applications of pharmacology to practice are highlighted and the implications of the research evidence for each major drug are presented in easy to use checklists or guidelines for clinical practice.

Then societal changes in attitudes toward women and the practice of medicine made birthing a province of the male-dominated medical profession. In Birth Chairs, Midwives, and Medicine, Amanda Carson Banks examines the history of the birth chair and tells how this birthing device changed over time.
