The most complete training in the Main Pathologies and Deviations of the Normality of Childbirth and the Puerperium for Midwives, of all the educational market: a wide and complete Postgraduate diploma, unique in its specialty"

More than 25% of neonates are born by instrumental delivery or cesarean section. Therefore, knowledge of all the facets involved in this subject is fundamental in this Postgraduate diploma. The best references will be incorporated so that the student can make an exhaustive study and integrate new knowledge. 

Topics such as labor inductions and premature rupture of membranes, chapters in constant revision and change of protocols thanks to new studies and reviews, are also incorporated.  This Postgraduate diploma will also study Streptococcus B positive in pregnancy screening and its treatment, another area in which midwives must be fully trained, since they are the ones who administer the medication, take samples and receive the pregnant woman in the emergency units.

In addition, two of the pathologies par excellence in terms of pregnancy are treated: diabetes and hypertensive states of pregnancy.  The different hypertensive pathologies in pregnancy will be dealt with in an extensive but concise way, making clear the concepts so that the student knows how to differentiate the stages of each one of them.  Neonatal knowledge will also be integrated within each pathology, as all of them directly interfere in fetal development and consequently in their neonatal needs. 

This module also deals with fetal death, one of the most important medical and psychological management issues, due to the maternal repercussions it can have.  Finally, gynecological cancer during pregnancy will also be discussed, since these cancers are becoming more and more prevalent in young people and therefore of childbearing age, and because it is a subject that involves important ethical and legal aspects.

It also incorporates the problems with breastfeeding, so much in vogue at the present time and, in a very special way, the psychological and psychiatric problems of pregnancy, as important or more important than the physical ones and in which the midwife has a fundamental role. In the psychological aspect there is often a lack of information and training, so this Postgraduate diploma will provide sufficient knowledge for a proper approach by the midwife. 

As a last point, the topic of the legal termination of pregnancy is incorporated, serving as an annex to each of the topics and modules, since it is something that concerns all of them, since with many of the pathologies it may be indicated and justified to perform a legal abortion.
