The true essence of midwifery, 23 April 2005
By Pamela C. Hines-Powell "midwifemama" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Midwifery: Best Practice, Volume 1 (Paperback)
The definition of midwifery is "with woman". It is not "managing women" or "directing birth". It is about being a woman's equal, being up to date on the most evidence-based research, and providing women full informed choice and support for her decisions. This is the essence of midwifery.
Sara Wickham has collected a variety of articles and studies that demonstrate the true definition of being with woman. From ways to determine cervical dilation without intrustive vaginal exams to the physiological second stage, the information in this book is unique, of sound advice and speaks to the heart of all midwives.
Every midwife, whether practicing at home or in an institution, would benefit from this collection. If midwives could get back to the true meaning of midwifery and get away from the control of the medicolegal fear mongering, women everywhere would benefit. This book is a step in the right direction.
