This comprehensive work is designed to educate practitioners on the intricate processes involved in pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period, focusing particularly on the anatomical and physiological aspects of childbirth. The book aims to provide a condensed view of various topics related to obstetrics, integrating both theory and practical application. The opening of the text introduces midwifery as both an art and a science, emphasizing its role in managing the health of women during pregnancy, labor, and the puerperal phase. Rigby elaborates on the complexity of the biological processes involved, highlighting how natural functions can become complicated by various factors, particularly in a civilized context. The initial chapters lay a foundation by discussing the anatomy and physiology of the human reproductive system, including the pelvis, female organs of generation, and early signs of pregnancy, thus setting the stage for a detailed exploration of midwifery practices that will follow throughout the volume.
