About This Book

A practical manual offering plain instruction for mothers and monthly nurses on pregnancy, preparation for childbirth, labor, and postpartum care, together with infant management. It explains pelvic and reproductive anatomy and fetal development, describes diagnosis of pregnancy and abortion, and outlines normal and difficult labors with midwifery guidance. Additional sections treat causes and symptoms of common diseases, bedside and surgical nursing, emergency measures, dietetics, prescriptions, and a medical formulary. The volume closes with a glossary and index to support quick reference and to aid nonprofessional caregivers in observing symptoms and responding to routine and urgent maternal and infant health needs.
