Book reviews

  • Birth matters Birth mattersAs a newly qualified midwife, I was eager to get to grips with this new title from the original 'spiritual midwife' and was soon hooked.
  • Midwifery practice: case book – critical illness, complications and emergencies Midwifery practice: case book critical illness, complications and emergenciesI found this book extremely useful. Each chapter is a case study covering the management of a specific obstetric emergency or critical illness in a question-and-answer-style format.
  • Mayes midwifery 14 ed Mayes' midwifery (14th edition)Previously I have used another midwifery textbook, chosen due to its Pageburst access. However, Mayes' now has this fantastic resource as well, so I was eager 
to see how it shaped up.
