So, on my wishlist, there are a few items that would really help me in nursing school, the first is a success book for my next term, but those can be quite a bit expensive. I love reading, and have a few books on the list, but I'd be happy if I get anything! Thank you so much for your generosity!
Here's a dissertation on the topic of unassisted childbirths: http://ir.uiowa.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1387&context=etd
The estimate is 5,000 in North America per year. There are many valid reasons to consider it. My wife did not feel respected at all in her first labor. So we are planning for an unassisted (home) childbirth for our child on the way. She feels safer birthing at home than at the hospital. We much better prepared this time around, read books (Labor Progress Handbook, Husband-Coached Childbirth, Spiritual Midwifery, and Guide to Childbirth), and taking a Bradley Method course.
If someone is courageous/desperate/traumatized enough to consider unassisted home birth and share such with you, your conversation with her will likely be more productive by starting with finding out her reasons. This will likely help you meet her where she is. Feel free to post back about how the conversation evolves.
I have this book. If you think it might work, I'll sell it hella cheap.
This helped me Or send me a message
midwifery and gynecological nursing is generally out of scope for your typical student nurse (or LPN, RN) - womens health and midwifery are areas people get advanced degrees in.
Most (all?) nursing school maternity textbooks are going to include the basics of women's health, like breast cancer and STIs, etc.
My school used this book, it's fine. https://www.amazon.com/Maternity-Womens-Health-Care/dp/032316918X
