5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks to Davis for restoring my faith in midwifery., 18 Jan 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart and Hands: Midwive's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth (Paperback)

I am a midwifery student in New Zealand and Heart and Hands was one of the books that first confirmed my desire to be a midwife. Later on as I persue my studies, Heart and Hands is an inspirational book that keeps me focused on my original motives for studying midwifery, not the medical delivering of babies, but the emotional and spiritual journey that women make when they give birth. However, this isn't a lovey dovey book, it has hard factual information and evidence and wonderful pictures. I recommend this book not only as a guide for midwives but a helpful text for parents to be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich and Warm in the Art of Midwifery, 15 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart and Hands: Midwive's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth (Paperback)

I am currently a Student Nurse Midwife in Rural Virginia and I have found that this book is noteworthy of being mandatory for anyone aspiring to become a Midwife. Elizabeth Davis is inviting in her focus of providing Midwifery Care. She is elaborate in her explanations and the drawing and photographs are priceless. I also work in a hospital setting as an R.N. and I am amazed that the OB/GYN's I work with are interested in the beauty of this book. Not only has this book made a lasting impression on me, but also the OB/GYN's that certainly need a taste of Midwifery in their practice. May I recommend that even any woman contemplating the use of a Midwife choose this book as a guide for her pregnancy- your choice in health care provider will be simply made after reading this book. Blessings to Elizabeth Davis for such an inspirational addition to the field of Midwfery!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful resource for expectant mothers, too, 12 May 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Heart and Hands: Midwive's Guide to Pregnancy and Birth (Paperback)

I'm not a midwife, but I wanted lots of information about childbrith before the birth of my first baby. This was our favorite book about childbirth: the information was specific, the drawings were clear and beautiful, and the whole book was encouraging.
