"Bailliere's Midwives Dictionary" has long been the choice of midwifery students and practitioners seeking a thorough and reliable first point of information in their professional field. Now revised and updated throughout, the dictionary provides the modern student and midwife subject-specialist support and clear, brief information on all key terms they are likely to encounter. Now in its tenth edition, the dictionary has been radically but sensitively revised to include well over 100 new terms and definitions, reflecting the vast array of changes and developments in midwifery education and practice. In addition to the illustrated definitions section, there are 18 Appendices, with new and expanded information on: antenatal investigations; apgar score; postpartum haemorrhage; P.V. examination of foetal position; social security benefits; and useful addresses.
