Waterbirth Stories

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is a must-read for any obstetrical provider considering or currently offering water labor or water birth, as well as student midwives...The stories highlight best practices, with numerous references demonstrating the authors' commitment to evidence-based care. Each chapter concludes with learning points to help readers process the information in a clinical framework...This is a great book that depicts water labor and water birth safety through evidence-based practice principles. It is easy to read, highly engaging, and well referenced, which adds to the validity of its stories. Chapters four through six are captivating because they highlight stories of emergency management, which I have yet to read elsewhere but is vital information for practicing water labor and birth providers. To my knowledge, there are no books like this that impart knowledge to healthcare providers through storytelling. The stories are short enough to keep readers' attention but detailed enough to paint the picture of what the laboring women and midwives encountered. This book is unique and well done." - Elizabeth M. Nutter, Doody's Review Service

"Waterbirth Stories was a highly enjoyable book, both informative and easy to read. This book would be particularly useful for students, newly qualified staff, and anyone with limited experience of labour and birth in water." - Mhairi McLellan, The Practising Midwife
