In the May Collective lesson, I indulged my inner nerd and explored the evolution of birth knowledge through books. I also discovered rampant plagiarism 🤣 For those who think that the stealing and sharing (without citation) of other people's work is a new 'social media' phenomenon. Nope! Here is just one example from popular books of their time. It is likely that Culpeper got his words from someone else because he translated books into English. Citations only really appeared in midwifery textbooks in the 1990s (after the emergence of 'evidence-based practice') and are still largely absent from parent education books.You can find more birth-related information on my blog, podcast, YouTube, articles, books, courses and collective at www.rachelreed.website or via the links in my bio.With the code PLACENTA20, you get 20% off my Childbirth Physiology Course until midnight TODAY (May 12th, AEST).With the code PLACENTA20, you get 20% off my Childbirth Physiology Course until midnight on May 12th, AEST.With the code PLACENTA20, you get 20% off my Childbirth Physiology Course until midnight on May 12th, AEST.With the code PLACENTA20, you get 20% off my Childbirth Physiology Course until midnight on May 12th, AEST.Top Posts
