Fans of the tv series will enjoy this collection as it expands on stories from the show. Although sometimes repetitive you do get extra details and new tales of this time in British social history. Well worth reading!

By Mumma Tash

Call the Midwife is set in the slums of post war London iand is such a genuine portrayal of the invaluable work of midwives in ensuring a well mother and baby. In earlier times women were attended by untrained women who had a reputation for dishonesty, at times making off with the patient's valuables. Hygiene was not a priority. They were not always reliable either.

This fine group of midwives, led by nursing nuns, brought a high standard of care to East End London. So many stories of pregnancy and birth.

This book brought back all my memories of being a midwife, although I always worked in hospitals. I am just so happy to find a book which tells everyone what wonderful people midwives are!
