Issue 48
Winter 1998
Theme: Hemorrhage
Issue 48 is a definitive work on postpartum hemorrhage: third stage of labor, placentas and the causes and prevention of postpartum hemorrhage are discussed in detail in several articles. This is practically a textbook on hemorrhage! A mini-theme on breastfeeding, including the hilarious “Stand-up and Sit Down Comedy,” gives readers both a serious and not-so-serious look at breastfeeding concerns. Canadian midwife Diane Smith, who works with dais (traditional midwives) in India, pens an in-depth and fascinating look into centuries of wisdom and custom.
