Description
This title is directed primarily towards health care professionals outside of the United States. A first in Midwifery publishing! No
other book advises midwives on the special needs of mothers with disabilities. Although an increasing number of women with disabilities
are having children, the needs of this minority group are not always being effectively met. Disability in Pregnancy and Childbirth provides
essential practical information to healthcare professionals working with this group.
