The aim of this subject is to increase students' understanding and appreciation of childbearing as a normal healthy development experience in the life cycle of a woman and her family. The childbearing experience encompasses the pre-conceptual period through to early parenting. The subject also aims to develop students' understanding and appreciation of the role of the midwife as a health care professional, providing a critical contribution to the quality of the women and her family's experience of childbearing. This subject provides students with a framework for midwifery practice, and develops their knowledge and skills in the care of the woman and her family experiencing normal pregnancy, childbirth and early parenting. Students maintain contact with the women with whom they made initial relationships in Health Assessment.
