| Abstract | Focusing on optimising the normal biological processes of reproduction and early life, and in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Future Midwives Standards, this comprehensive textbook introduces the fundamental anatomy and physiology knowledge needed for midwifery practice. This textbook follows the journey from preconception to the puerperium. Divided into six parts, it begins with foundational material before moving onto reproduction, embryology and fetal development. The central sections of the book consider maternal changes and adaptations during pregnancy, the intrapartum period, and the puerperium and transition from fetal to neonatal life. The book finishes with a section looking at lactation. Containing numerous full colour illustrations, each chapter includes 'Application to practice 'boxes, 'challenge' sections and 'interrupters' to help you consolidate your learning. The text is accompanied by a downloadable interactive workbook to complete as you read. Written in a clear and accessible style, The Anatomy and Physiology Textbook for Midwives is an essential read for preregistration midwifery students, studying at both BSc and MSc levels. |
