Home Birth
As the rate of homebirth increases in the UK, this important new book offers a basic, practical guide for anyone involved in the planning, resourcing and facilitation of safe and respectful birth at home.
Blending both contemporary academic and clinical practice, this textbook covers the whole scope of home birth practice, from antenatal care, delivery and postnatal care, as well as management of emergencies at home and practical advice for managing transfer.
Facilitating a safe home birth requires a robust multidisciplinary team approach. Whatever your role in planning or attending a birth at home, and whether you are a student, practising midwife, paramedic or obstetrician, this resource will have something for you.
