The gold standard for midwives and students is back with Varney’s Midwifery, Fifth Edition. New to this edition are chapters describing the profession of midwifery, reproductive physiology, clinical genetics, and support for women in labor. Interwoven throughout is information on primary care, gynecology, maternity care, and neonatal care. With chapters written by a variety of expert midwives and an increased emphasis on reproductive anatomy and physiology, this new edition assists students and clinicians in understanding not only what to do but why. Updated to reflect evidence-based care, this edition also discusses the pathophysiology of various conditions in the context of normal changes in the reproductive cycle. Also included are numerous new anatomical and clinical illustrations. In this edition, the skills chapters have been significantly revised and reformatted into relevant chapter appendices to help students, new midwives, and international readers learn essential skills in sequential steps. These critical midwifery skills include performing a pelvic examination, hand maneuvers for birth, delivery of a fetus in breech presentation, and current evidence-based steps for managing a postpartum hemorrhage. New Chapters Include: * Professional Midwifery Today * Mental Health Conditions * Breast Conditions * Anatomy and Physiology of the Female Reproductive System * Physiologic Changes in Pregnancy and Fetal Development * Genetics * Anatomy and Physiology of Pregnancy: Placental, Fetal, and Maternal Adaptations * Support for Women in Labor * Anatomy and Physiology of Postpartum * Anatomy and Physiology of the Newborn

How much did I pay for this ebook??? I was willing to put the money out for this great reference book, and even willing to spend just as much for the ebook, so I didn't have to lug the heavy thing around.***But*** I pay this huge amount for this great reference book, and every once in a while it won't pull up a chart, "due to copyright restrictions". Goodness. I didn't feel that I needed to read the reviews for this book because I had an older edition, and had high recommendations for this edition.I'm not happy about having to go find the information myself.I REALLY wish I could rate the medium separately from the actual content.Content = 5 Stars!ebook= 3
Most of my NP graduate education references current practice guidelines (CPGs) (i.e.,ACOG, AWHONN, AACE, CDC, etc.) and one of the few texts we employ is Varney's. It is soooo maddening to research CPGs then look at Varney's and find different treatment recommendations; sometimes I've even found information completely contradictory. This book is best used as a good midwife/NPs overview of obstetric & neonatal physiology (without getting as deep as in the OB/GYN Williams books) but NOT for management of care. Be careful.
Go to source on my midwifery journey! Easy to follow with up to date information. My only complaint is about the black and white pictures! A book of this price point should have color pictures and illustrations so that, for instance, in the embryonic/fetal development section, the different tissues are clearly distinguishable. Also, it would really up the overall aesthetic given that every single page is black and white. Obviously, still a valuable resource.
There is a lot of text and not a lot of diagrams and pictures, but it is very easy to ready and follow along with.
A required text in my midwifery program. I like how its organized. Disappointing to see how much content is NOT referenced. The authors say things like, "80% of pregnant women do XXXX...." but don't provide a reference many times. I am thinking is that reliable or did they make that up? Also, some management does not always line up with other course readings, so can be confusing. I'm glad we have a midwifery text, dont get me wrong. Just not my fav.
It's certainly the best Midwifery book!It's a must for any midwifery student.I will recommend it to anyone who is interested in midwifery.
For the price one expects a quality book, this edition is cheaply made, the binding cover is flimsy and warped. My associates who bought it sent it back and got only slightly better back. It will have to be rebound with any real use.
Great resource. Delivered super fast. I can see using this throughout my graduate program and practice for many years to come.
