The Secret Midwife is a heart-breaking, engrossing and important read. At once joyful and profoundly shocking, this is the story of birth, straight from the delivery room. Strongest supporter, best friend, expert, cheerleader and chief photographer . . . Before, during and after labour the role of a midwife is second to none. The Secret Midwife reveals the highs and lows on the frontline of the maternity unit, from the mother who tries to give herself a DIY caesarean to the baby born into witness protection, and from surprise infants that arrive down toilets to ones that turn up in the lift. But there is a problem; the system which is supposed to support the midwives and the women they care for is starting to crumble. Short-staffed, over worked and underappreciated - these crippling conditions are taking their toll on the dedicated staff doing their utmost to uphold our National Health Service, and the consequences are very serious indeed. 541 $d 20230810. 650 $a Midwifery $z Great Britain. 650 1 $a Hospitals $x Maternity services $z Great Britain. 650 1 $a Midwives $z Great Britain $x Psychology. 655 $a Audiobooks $v Fiction. 941 $a 2 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20240224010313.0 952 $l FPPC224 $d 20231226010645.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=776B872CA3BC11EE8732176F4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
