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.

General Objective

• The student will learn to manage and perform instrumental deliveries and cesarean sections
• You will learn the factors to take into account during abnormal deliveries, such as breech deliveries or deliveries with a previous cesarean section
• Know the different ways of initiating labor, such as premature rupture of membranes and induction
• The student will learn in depth about the hypertensive pathology of pregnancy, as well as the most serious complications derived from it
• Training will also be provided in endocrine pathology, with emphasis on those that most affect pregnancy: diabetes and thyroid pathology
• The main gynecological cancers in pregnancy will be studied
• The student will study problems related to the postpartum period, including infections and hemorrhages
• The student will study the complications associated with breastfeeding
• Students will also learn about legal abortion in our country and its implications

Specific learning objectives of each module

• An exhaustive knowledge of the different ways of initiating labor, whether spontaneous, induced or by premature rupture of membranes, is essential in the midwife's work, since all pregnant women will go through this process
• Learning about births that are not euthanized is of utmost importance for the midwife to have the skills and knowledge to refer patients and advise obstetricians in an optimal way
• Instruct on the main protocols in relation to pregnant women carrying group B streptococcus during the third trimester of pregnancy, since it is the midwives who are responsible for collecting samples, administering medication and performing the relevant subsequent neonatal care
• Know everything related to preeclampsia, the new protocols for prediction, prevention, treatment and diagnosis
• Learn about the management of the severe complications of preeclampsia, which are per se obstetric emergencies, so professionals must be equipped with the best and most updated knowledge
• Get up to speed on the management of diabetes, since nurses are the competent professionals to carry out an adequate follow-up during pregnancy, delivery and the postpartum period of patients and neonates of diabetic mothers
• Have an in-depth knowledge of gynecological-oncological issues in pregnant women, as more and more patients are suffering from these pathologies, and for whom it is essential to follow protocols based on the best evidence
• Learn about infectious pathology in the postpartum period, since it is the nurses who receive the woman in the postpartum visits, and whose early referral is essential for a successful outcome
• Instruct on breastfeeding problems, a subject that is almost exclusively the responsibility of midwives. A high percentage of pregnant women suffer mastitis and/or breast engorgement in the puerperium, so midwives must be properly trained to provide support and solutions to mothers in this difficult stage of life
• Have an in-depth understanding of psychological care such as postpartum depression and puerperal psychosis. Postpartum depression affects 1 in 10 women and tends to be trivialized and underdiagnosed, which is why the midwife is the ideal person to carry out a correct screening, follow-up and referral if necessary, since she is the only practitioner who attends women in the postpartum period 
• Know the causes of postpartum hemorrhages, since nurses are in charge of attending euthyroid deliveries and monitoring the immediate postpartum period in all hospitalization units. Be familiar with the appropriate treatment depending on the etiology of the bleeding and its aftercare
• Get up to date in both maternal and neonatal CPR, since nurses are in charge of the first neonatal assessment in most maternity wards, and their protocols are updated from time to time to offer the best care based on scientific evidence

A unique, key and decisive training experience to boost your professional development"
