This text examines the use of hydrotherapy in line with current evidence-based practice, and explores the practical issues of setting up a water birthing facility both at home and in a hospital environment. The issues of maternal and newborn physiology are explained and the practical apsects of care during and after use of a birthing pool are discussed. A new chapter on midwifery education explains how to comply with the requirements for PREP.
