Ok I get midirs, RCM and practising midwife, the best one to start with is practising midwife, I think you can set it up online, its quite cheap especially for us students. The list of books is endless, there is a book shop section on here, but get either a mayes or a myles they pretty much cover most of the things and are good for a start off, then you'll need a good Anatomy and Physiology book, Stables is good but its a little heavy for starting with, the Wylie one is good, but also Tortora for a better overview (not just midwifery), then for normality I like heart and hands, Soo Downes book, I believe Dennis Walsh's book is good also another fave of mine is spiritual midwifery by Ina Mae Gaskin. Its whatever suits have a look on here, or amazon for a more extensive range, also loads of current stuff on BBC website, Gaurdian and Telegraph, all free online,and of course NICE and DoH websites x
