It’s valuable knowledge. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Start into Midwifery Texts *by H***E on September 15, 2016* What's not to love about Elizabeth Davis? This book is incredibly informative for birth professionals! It has very detailed information about "normal" birth as well as many different complications that can occur prenatally, during birth or during the postpartum period. It explains which mothers would be good candidates to work with midwives, as well as information about when certain mothers would not be good candidates for home or out-of-hospital births. I recommend this book for midwives, midwifery students, doulas, as well as students who are trying to figure out if midwifery is their calling or not. It is not as feel-good and entertaining as Ina May's books as it lack the birth stories, but it is not as big of an investment (monetary, time and emotionally) as some of the classic textbooks, such as Varney's Midwifery or Anne Frye's Holistic Midwifery texts. I would not recommend this book for the average expecting mother, as it is aimed towards birth workers and may cause more worries about complications than comfort for expecting moms. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3601957-heart-and-hands-fifth-edition-2019-a-midwifes-guide-to](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3601957-heart-and-hands-fifth-edition-2019-a-midwifes-guide-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
