This text is the first of three volumes (two of which have been published) covering all aspects of midwifery care during pregnancy and childbirth and of the mother and baby after birth. This volume discusses care from conception until the onset of labor. Topics include basic female anatomy and physiology, midwifery practice issues, cultural considerations, hands-on skills, care through each trimester, problems that may occur in any trimester, and preexisting medical conditions. Review: YES! Recommended for EVERYONE interested in birth - I am planning on studying midwifery after nursing school, and this textbook has proven to be comprehensive, interesting, thought-provoking and very well written. The information and wisdom contained herein is clearly based on evidence and decades of experience in tending women and their loved ones. Review: A favorite! - So far, one of my favorite books in studying midwifery. Truly holistic approach. I have been reading Varney's (horribly boring and poorly written) and Miles and Mayes (both British and very well written, easy reading). Looking forward to reading more of Holistic Midwifery volume 1 & 2.

Most valuable set of books
The textbooks by anne frye are the books I ALWAYS go to and reference. They are amazingly details and fun to read, but I'm also pretty interested in the technical stuff. Volume 1 gives lots o details on nutrition for optimal pregnancy and the second is great- you can't find this information online! :)Worth ALLLLL the money.
