Midwives. The reading of this book was a quick follow up to two other books which were real accounts of the exciting life of that of nurse midwives. My pregnancies were not the norm and I was cared for by a talented ob-gyn. Besides hospitalizations due to eclampsia my second baby was born twelve weeks premature. After these personal experiences I had little respect for the practice of midwifery. It wasn't until my daughter became pregnant and chose to have a midwife care for her from inception of my grandchild until six weeks after her birth that this conundrum hit me square in the face. It was a time in my life when my silence was deemed appropriate but I nearly bit right through my tongue to maintain it. I feared for these two precious lives more intensely than I ever had before. Love incites the fiercest emotions. I waited for each update with bated breath. Her second child was easier but still had moments of angst on my part. These children are now very healthy adolescents. It became time to reevaluate my feelings. Many friends of mine have daughters who have too chosen the care of midwives. They are also happy grandmothers of healthy grandchildren. Life does come full circle. The completion of Midwives has truly left me more open to this option for pregnant moms. There is a place for them in the practice of modern childbirth. I'm certainly not ready to relinquish my support for the ob-gyns. If a patient's care remains as expected with normal benchmarks I now fully respect and accept the efforts of the midwives entrusted with their care. Honestly, they do offer options that can only serve to enhance the birthing process that young parents wish for. However, there are those expectant mothers like me who need a higher quality of care for both baby and mom. The problem here is with whom you determine to provide your care. I believe that any conscientious midwife upon the detection of a bumpy ride will refer the patient to an ob-gyn. Nowadays, there is even a time where the qualifications of a perinatologist may be necessary to ensure the birth of a healthy baby. Finally, Midwives, details the care administered by that of the lay midwife. I believe they can be well intentioned and see this as their chosen life's work. It's this situation with which I cannot approve. If this is such a desired career then further schooling must be undertaken. It just seems to be obvious that a degree in nursing that is followed by two years study of obstetrics must be mandated. If such were the case perhaps the story of those like Charlotte would never come to be. Thank you for the opportunity to share my beliefs. It was a pleasure to read this novel. It's timing for me was well served by my two previous reads. Margaret Gobatto

Chilling!. Chilling. You must read to the very last word. And then you’ll read it again! It stays with you. As a labour and delivery nurse, I can honestly say this book will haunt you. A fantastic read.
