This book presents a series of lectures on the principles and practices of midwifery, encompassing the stages of gestation, labour, and lactation. It begins by establishing the connection between menstruation and the growth of the Graafian follicle, providing detailed descriptions of the process of conception, gestation, and the development of the embryo. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the changes that occur in the uterus, ovaries, and associated structures throughout pregnancy, supported by illustrations and diagrams. The book discusses the different stages of labour, including the signs and symptoms of pregnancy, the dilation of the os uteri, and the expulsion of the placenta. It also covers complications that may arise during labour, such as hemorrhage and convulsions. Finally, the book explores the postpartum period, including the secretion of milk, and discusses common inflammatory conditions that may affect the uterus. The author draws on the latest scientific research and clinical observations to provide a valuable resource for medical practitioners and students alike, offering a thorough understanding of the physiological processes and clinical management of pregnancy and childbirth.
