Sensitive Midwifery by Caroline Flint
This new and enlarged edition gives even more practical advice for today’s midwife, student midwife and
birthkeeper, but it also explores the ethical and moral dilemmas that face today’s practitioner. The delightful illustrations by Helen Chown keep the book fascinating, fun and easy to read, and the input and wise editing of Deborah Hughes add great depth to what will become essential reading for every midwife. Lots of practical advice, from positions in labour, to breastfeeding, to setting up support groups for women, midwives and families.
Born out of a total of nearly a century of midwifery practice, this book charts the way through the moral dilemmas and difficulties which face today’s midwife (and obstetrician) and has been used by medical students to learn how to suture, how to perform a caesarean section and, at the same time, how to care for women gently and sensitively.
Waterbirth for the 21st Century – Love, Skills and Knowledge is the latest work from internationally
respected waterbirth pioneer Dianne Garland. Drawing on decades of clinical expertise, Garland offers an invaluable blend of history, global research and practical guidance for supporting mothers, babies and midwifery professionals through labour and birth in water. From antenatal preparation to professional education, the book equips birth companions, midwives, doulas and maternity teams with the confidence and evidence they need. Featuring inspiring stories from families and practitioners worldwide, this is an essential resource for anyone committed to safe, compassionate and informed waterbirth practice.

Ruth Weston, is the mother of five children born in Bradford. Eight weeks before the birth of her fourth child she bought on impulse Aquabirths Birthing Pools – because she liked it so much she bought the company. This funded her true passion which was to make UK maternity services a truly woman centred quality service, with continuity of midwifery carer at the heart of it. She has set up community birth and breastfeeding groups, local and national campaigns, has chaired what is now called NMVP, spoken regularly on Radio and TV, and spoken at conferences and seminars across the country. She has now written up her experience so others can learn from her successes and failures. Born Stroppy: Make Change Happen is part autobiography, part tool kit for change. Be inspired!
