A must have, pocket sized reference - By: L. A. Burgess, 20 May 2008 
Having never seen any other edition of the Midwives Dictionary, I have nothing to compare this to. This has all the terms that you are ever likely to come acrossin a midwifery situation & some definitions come with diagrams, which help to back up the definition.
There are also appendices at the back with various charts & diagrams.
This is a great reference guide that fits nicelyin your pocket & good when you need to know somethingin a hurry.
very useful - By: , 08 Mar 2004 I will be a student midwife as of june 2004 & have already bought this book. It is easy to use & understand & is a must for all midwives.
The midwives Bible! - By: , 14 Mar 2001 This dictionary is a must have for every midwife! Whether you are a student or a fully qualified midwife, this dictionary is SUPERB! It contains up to date definitions & explanations of all things related to midwifery, & there is even a section at the back of the dictionary containing a whole heap of useful information that is usedin everyday practice. This section includes the Bishops score, the normal pregnant blood values, the obstetric instruments used for any midwifery related procedure, graphs for bilirubin levels & much much more! Honestly, the list of things that they have includedin this book is endless! They have even made it a reasonable size so that it is small enough to fitin the bag along with all the other gadgets that we have to carry around (any fellow midwives out there will know what I mean!!) This book is a must have-well worth buying.
