RE: [ozmidwifery] was supplements during pregnancy - now "A Midwife's Handboook"

[Melanie Sommeling]

HI,   I am a 2nd Year BMid student, and I can recommend a couple of books which we use across the board, they are Myles, Texttbook for Midwives; Stables and Rankin, Physiology ion Childbearing; Johnson & Taylor  (? Skills in Midwifery?) Sorry left that one in my car. I Study as Part of the Werna Naloo Consortium in Vic.  And these 3 books are used by all the universities in the consortium. Hope that is some help. Oh yeah don’t for get your Midwifery dictionary.   Good luck with the studies.   Melanie   From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Julia Vaughan Sent: Wednesday, 22 February 2006 12:58 To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] was supplements during pregnancy - now "A Midwife's Handboook"   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.     -----Original Message----- From: owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au [mailto:owner-ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au] On Behalf Of Nicole Carver Sent: Wednesday, 22 February 2006 11:33 AM To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] supplements during pregnancy   Hi Paivi, 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. Nicole.
