Holistic Midwifery, Corrections & revisions in revised 6th ed.

P. 166 The last paragraph now reads: The mucosa of the yoni: The 1 cm-deep soft, vascular lining of the yoni. It is loosely attached to underlying structures and contains secretory tissue; there are no glands that produce yoni discharge. The pH of secretions vary with ovarian activity and average 4.0 in adults; pH is lowest midcycle and highest premenstrually.

P. 170 six lines from the bottom of the page, change identical to fraternal twins.

P. 172 the captions for the illustrations of uterine positioning, from left to right, should read: antiverted, antiflexed, retroverted, retroflexed, midline.

P. 224 the last sentence in the last paragraph under Calcium has been deleted and replaced with: The most assimilable form is calcium citrate maleate, although the citrate and carbonate forms work well for some women. It can be taken together with magnesium in a citrate, tartrate, asparatate or glycinate form (which is the only one that doesn't cause loose stools).

P. 234 below the paragraph entitled Correcting the damage done by low-salt diets, the following paragraph has been added and the first part of Working with Food lists now appears on p. 235.:
Determining if a woman is hypertensive due to chloride -sensitivity: If you or a client is concerned that her hypertensive tendencies may be related to sensitivity to the chloride in table salt, the test described above can also be used to detect whether this is so. Have the woman mix ½ to 1 Tbsp. of table salt in one liter of mineral water and drink it within a short time. Any rise in blood pressure three to four hours afterwards is probably due to chloride sensitivity. If so, the blood pressure should fall again following six hours of no additional intake of table salt. While I do not recommend going in a low salt diet per se, the woman can try avoiding adding salt to her foods at the table and get the extra sodium she needs from natural sources. Sea weeds, seafoods, celery and dairy products are all good sources of natural sodium. (Kuse, Midwifery Today Conf workshop, 1997)

P. 247 in the chart, under Category one, grams column, it should read <2500.
