Annotation:
Throughout this title, the author describes backgrounds, training, and roles of certified nurse-midwives and lay- or direct-entry midwives, and explains the contributions of both groups. Both kinds of midwives currently face challenges arising from within the profession and from massive, rapid changes in the healthcare system. Rooks believes maternity care and childbirth in America can, and should, be better than it is today, and offers steps to take in that direction.
