This second "Core Topics" volume specially refers to labour and delivery. The latest findings and the implications for modern midwifery are considered, along with earlier work. The relationship between critically renewed research studies and good practice remains.

This fifth volume in the immensely popular series introduces new topics of Midwifery Practice and revisits some topics already discussed in previous volumes.

This latest volume in the immensely popular Midwifery Practice Series deals with a further set of important issues, this time drawn from all three stages of care during pregnancy.

The latest volume in this series revisits topics particularly pertinent to the postnatal period. It makes a timely contribution to the literature in the context of recent developments in the organisation of midwifery care, the emphasis on woman-centred care and empowerment, and the reclaiming by midwives of the normal birth and puerperium.

It is vital for midwifery practice to be based on up-to-date research, which is necessarily changing and dynamic. This work, a sub-series of the "Midwifery Practice Series" looks at current research findings and discusses the implications for midwifery following the "Changing Childbirth" report.
