N2  - "A woman-centered approach to pregnancy must be flexible enough to address the variety of women's experiences around the world, encompassing a variety of medical conditions, cultures and family structures. It must also include women who choose not to carry a pregnancy or experience a miscarriage.  This unique woman-centered text explores all these issues and more, providing a vital resource for primary care maternity clinicians and trainees including family physicians, nurse practitioners, women's health clinicians, midwives, obstetrical nurses and obstetricians. It applies the powerful, proven model of patient-centered care to pregnancy and birth - an expansion beyond previous applications to various chronic illnesses. Women-Centered Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth incorporates dozens of vignettes describing clinicians' approaches to woman-centered maternity care with women and families from a variety of social, cultural, and economic situations facing common or problematic challenges over the course of prenatal care, birth and the postpartum period."--Publisher's website
