Educational. Informative. Written in such an obtusely formalized style as to be nearly inaccessible. I feel like it takes work to make such a dynamic topic as midwifery so very dry… so, kudos for that? Oy.

Loved the detail in this book while being still practical and understandable. Everything about baby development and birth is fascinating

Great book. Very in-depth. Only drawback with it--the binding completely fell apart with only one month of use.
