'I would recommend this text to new student midwives - the book is a good resource to support student learning from practice - especially the reflective activities asking the reader to consider experiences from placement. It is supplemented by suggested answers to tasks presented and so helpful for the year 1 student midwife' - Celia Yeardley, Faculty of Health and Wellbeing, Midwifery, Sheffield Hallam University
A really good text for first-year student midwives, but perhaps too simplistic for those later in their training. The layout is very clear and I really like the activity panels which direct them to further learning. May need to be updated once the new standards are published
provided a good insight to normal midwifery practice
Good overall practice for normality for yr 1 students
An informative text and highly accessible to new midwifery students. Presented in a clear and easy to understand style, it supports practice well using a range of reflective activities to support the learners continuing development. The suggested answer section will be especially useful for new students.
This book is an extremely useful book for students, in particular, first year students. It is well written, the format is easy to read and understand, and has an excellent focus on normality. The book is informative, applies theory to practice and provides a current reflection of midwifery practice. I like the activities as they stimulate and get you to think. Good use of diagrams and pictures, very useful for NMC Competencies and Essential Skills Clusters. Would recommend this book.
This book is a good resource to a new student midwives learning from practice- mostly the case studies.

An excellent book for student midwives. Some very useful activities included.
An interesting book which students will find useful
Very helpful to look at birth from a slightly different perspective. Useful as a lecturer preparing presentations and also as we try to promote normality
A succinct foundation level text that is highly recommended to all students commencing midwifery studies within the university.
This is a great resource for student midwives and midwives alike. It is clear, comprehensive and uses case studies and activities very effectively. Highly recommended.
this book is helpful for students to consider evidence in relation to practice
excellent text which covers all aspects of normal midwifery
This is a very easy to read text that covers the key elements of the first year of study on a midwifery programme, providing a framework on which to build upon during subsequent years. I particularly like how the NMC standards for pre-registration midwifery education and the essential skills clusters are identified at the start of each chapter, allowing the student to see how these apply to the modules being studied.
Useful book. easy read. Supplementary reading for first year midwifery students
This is a good book for pre-course reading as well as throughout the first year of the programme. It focuses on normal midwifery practice and has a very user-friendly / interactive appeal.
