A practical reference on labor progress and dystocia

This fifth edition brings together approaches to labor progress, with particular attention to early interventions and care during difficult or prolonged labor. Its coverage spans possible causes of dystocia, strategies that support normal labor and birth, fetal heart rate monitoring, and the use of oxytocin, including ethical considerations. Sections on labor stages sit alongside material on positioning, comfort measures, movement, and respectful care. The handbook’s combination of clinical topics and low-technology interventions makes it a reference focused on choices and practices across childbirth care.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Doulas, nurses, midwives, physicians, and other childbirth practitioners seeking a clinical reference.
  • Students studying maternity, perinatal, or women's health nursing.
  • Practitioners interested in labor progress, dystocia, and non-technological interventions.
