A Book for Midwives

A Book for Midwives is written for care givers who are concerned about the health of pregnant women and their babies. Traditional midwives, traditional birth attendants, auxiliary midwives, professional midwives, nurse-midwives, and community health workers can use this book to improve their skills. A Book for Midwives can also be used to help others learn these skills, so that more women will have safer births and healthier babies. A Book for Midwives is especially for people who live far from maternity centers or in places where it is difficult for poor people to get medical care. The book is written in clear, simple language, so that people who have little education can use it to learn about pregnancy and birth.
