Discusses the role of a nurse-midwife, explains how they can help with prenatal care and labor, and looks at birth centers and home birth
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Educated according to standards set by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), the nurse-midwife, often in collaboration with a traditional obstetrician/gynecologist (OB/GYN), provides information, emotional support, and coaching during pregnancy and childbirth. This handbook from the ACNM describes the nurse-midwife at work, showing her low-tech approach to labor and delivery in hospitals and birth centers and during home births. Also covered are safety factors, costs, and insurance coverage. The accurate information on the benefits and limits to nurse-midwife-assisted births, the acknowledgment of women's rights to make informed choices in their healthcare, and the sisterly warmth of the book's tone make this authoritative guide essential for parenting collections.
