About this Unit
This unit introduces students to midwifery knowledge for childbirth within a woman centred partnership model. It provides the theoretical foundations to equip students in understanding the role of the midwife during late pregnancy, labour and birth and the initial care of the newborn. The educational, psychological and social needs of women are explored and integrated with learning from the Bioscience for Midwifery unit. The unit briefly introduces students to midwifery care related to the immediate postnatal and newborn period including lactation and breastfeeding.
