Recenzii
This comprehensive and clear handbook should be an essential on every midwife’s reading list… The authors pay special attention to balancing practical pre-term birth knowledge with the experiences of women and the sensitivity that this topic requires. They include accounts from women, and they also approach the information around care of babies who are significantly premature, or less than 24 weeks with clarity and compassion… Overall, this book was informative, easy to digest and easy to refer back to in practice.
