Hi
Julia,
It is
a good book However you will probably have a list of recommended texts shortly,
you might want to wait and see. It cost me $80. I know our local uni recommends
Mayes Midwifery and ? Myles. They are both about $120. A Midwife's Handbook is
very comprehensive, as it includes natural as well as conventional therapies. I
would not rely on it for info about breast feeding. There are better books for
that. It is however a very clear book with lots of info. Your
choice!
Nicole.
PS
Good luck with you studies, and welcome to a wonderful
profession!
Hi
Nicole,
I just
googled this book and it looks like a good one. Is it on uni reading
lists or just one that you came across? Any other suggestions - Nicole
or anyone else - for good foundation books for a beginning BMid student?
I don’t have our book list yet…
Julia -
who is keen to purchase a few carefully chosen midwifery
titles.

Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] supplements
during pregnancy
I looked
up the dose in 'A Midwife's Handbook' by Constance Sinclair, 2004. She
recommends 400ug folic acid daily from 6-8 weeks prior to conception
(presumably continue to 14 weeks post conception) and 4mg for women who have a
past or family history of neural tube defects. I think it would be an
important product to have in your store.
