Anti-D in midwifery - Sara Wickham

The book begins by exploring the historical and current research evidence in this area in detail, outlining the 'facts' and the questions which remain unanswered.
The results of research carried out to expand midwifery knowledge in this area are also presented and discussed.
A reflective approach is taken throughout, which raises critical questions of philosophy and practice relating to this and other areas of knowledge.

* Are women's bodies really fallible, or could some women's need for anti-D be caused by medical intervention in childbirth?
* Do women being offered anti-D know that this is a blood product which may carry attendant risks?
* What information do women need in order to decide whether of not they will have anti-D?
