Postpartum haemorrhage and other third-stage problems Perinatal fetal asphyxia Operative delivery Adaptation to extrauterine life 1 respiration and cardiovascular functions Adaptation to extrauterine life 2 nutritional and metabolic adjustments The low birthweight baby common problems and care Neonatal cardiovascular and respiratory disorders Neonatal jaundice and some metabolic disorders Infections and trauma in the neonate The breasts and lactation Breastfeeding practice and problems The puerperium Biobehavioural aspects of parenting
Summary: "Physiology in Childbearing continues to provide an up-to-date, comprehensive and clear account of anatomy and physiology and related biosciences at all stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Building upon the success of the first edition, Dot Stables has recruited Jean Rankin, a teacher/practitioner of midwifery with many years of experience to co-edit this updated edition. Together, they offer students the benefit of their extensive knowledge of the subject to provide a comprehensive physiology text."--BOOK JACKET
