Women and Birth
publishes on all matters that affect women and birth, from pre-conceptual counselling, through pregnancy,
birth, and early parenting. We are interested in articles on issues relevant to the full scope of midwifery practice as defined by the
International Confederation of Midwives (2005). We are also concerned with the longer term health effects of childbearing for women and
babies. Our woman-centred focus is inclusive of the woman's baby, unborn , newborn and infant, both well and ill, and covers both normal
and complex pregnancies.
The Journal seeks papers from midwives, other health professionals, consumers and scholars from other disciplines
who have a contribution to make to our understanding of matters affecting women and birth. Sociologists, anthropologists, economists
and historians are also invited to submit papers.
The types of papers we will consider include research reports, both qualitative and
quantitative, methodology papers, theoretical and philosophical papers, case studies and literature reviews. Clinical practice updates,
opinion pieces and book reviews may also be submitted for consideration
