This text is aimed specifically at midwives and neonatal nurses taking on the role of examining the newborn infant in the obstetric environment. The book is thoughtful, wide-ranging and woman-centred, encompassing the experience of pregnancy from preconception to the postnatal period. Chapters on foetal development, assessing foetal well-being and hazards to the foetus are supported by an excellent up-to-date evidence base and are well applied to the process of clinical examination and the questions parents may raise.
