Midwifery Illustrated (1833)

Midwifery Illustrated is a comprehensive guide to obstetrics and midwifery written by Jacques Pierre Maygrier and first published in 1833. The book is divided into three parts and covers topics such as anatomy, physiology, pathology, and the management of pregnancy, labor, and delivery. The first part of the book focuses on the female reproductive system and the development of the fetus. The second part covers the management of pregnancy, including prenatal care, nutrition, and complications such as ectopic pregnancy and miscarriage. The third and final part of the book is dedicated to the management of labor and delivery, including techniques for monitoring fetal well-being, pain management, and the use of forceps and other instruments. The book is illustrated with detailed drawings and diagrams, making it a valuable resource for midwives, obstetricians, and medical students. Despite being written over 180 years ago, Midwifery Illustrated remains a classic text in the field of obstetrics and continues to be studied and referenced by medical professionals today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
