Description

This ISBN is now out of print. A new edition with e-book is available under ISBN 9780702044762.

The third edition of this popular textbook gives a clear, easy-to-read account of anatomy and physiology at all stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Each chapter covers normal physiology, changes to the physiology in pregnancy, and application to practice. The physiology of childbearing is placed within a total biological context, drawing on evolution, ecology, biochemistry and cell biology.

• Follows childbearing from preconception to postnatal care and the neonate
• Logical progression through the body systems
• Highly illustrated, with simple diagrams
• Emphasises links between knowledge and practice to promote clinical skills
• Main points summarised to aid study.
