Description
Understanding Pain and Its Relief in Labour by Sue Moore is a comprehensive guide to pain management during labour from the midwife's perspective. This book explores the physiological processes involved in pain perception and relates them to the physiological process of labour, providing practical advice for managing pain in labour. The author, an experienced clinical midwife with 14 years of experience, covers both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods of pain control, including complementary therapies. The book is illustrated with clear line drawings to supplement and clarify the text, making it an ideal resource for today's more academic courses and for independent professional midwives. With a focus on the practical aspects of pain management in labour, this book provides a unique insight into the subject from the midwife's point of view, offering a fresh perspective on a topic that is increasingly important in modern midwifery practice.
