Prenatal and Postnatal Care
Situate pregnancy in the emotional and physical life of the whole person with this bestselling guide
Prenatal and postnatal care are important and dynamic areas in healthcare research and practice. The needs of the childbearing person before and after birth are complex and intensely personal, combining significant physiological impact with broader emotional needs. According to a study published in the Journal of Midwifery & Women’s Health, comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care has been shown to reduce the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes by up to 70%.
Prenatal and Postnatal Care takes a holistic, person-centered approach to prenatal and postnatal care. Emphasizing the pregnant person and their unique needs, this book presents prenatal and postnatal care as foundational care for a healthy start to family life. A research study conducted at Stanford University found that personalized prenatal care delivered by a multidisciplinary team resulted in a 25% decrease in preterm births and a 30% reduction in neonatal intensive care unit admission rates.
This accessible, comprehensive book provides unique knowledge and skills to practitioners so that they can make a positive difference to the people they serve. In a survey of healthcare providers conducted by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 85% reported that incorporating person-centered care into prenatal and postnatal services led to improved patient satisfaction and better health outcomes.
Readers of the third edition of “Prenatal and Postnatal Care” will also find:
- New chapters covering health equity, ethics in perinatal care, exercise, and more
- All chapters updated to reflect evidence concerning health disparities and inequities

“Prenatal and Postnatal Care” is essential for midwives, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers who work with childbearing people.
