Thomson Senior Lecturer in Midwifery, School of Nursing Studies, University of Manchester and Director, Health Care Research Unit, Manchester College of Mid wifery and Nursing Preface This volume is the fourth in a series which brings together studies of partic ular relevance to the care provided by midwives for childbearing women and their families. The series is intended primarily for midwives but we hope that other health professionals involved in the maternity services, as well as those who use the services, will also find the series interesting and useful. In undertaking this venture we have been fortunate in the support received from colleagues, friends and family. In particular we would like to thank the following: Rosemary Morris, Senior Editor, Health Sciences at Chapman & Hall; all the authors who have contributed to the series; col leagues at both the Nursing Research Unit, London University and the School of Nursing Studies, Manchester University; and Paul and Rachel Robinson. Special thanks are due to Sue Ankers, Julie Greenwood, Elaine Pacey and Geraldine Reast for secretarial support. Sarah Robinson, London Ann M.Thomson, Manchester March 1995
