This book explores how experiences of IVF can affect the transition to parenthood for non-donor infertile couples. Drawing on empirical research and the broader social sciences literature, the book sets out the context of complex modern family building and discusses how infertility and IVF continue to shape parenthood and family building after successful IVF conception. It looks at how stigma, disclosure, loss, and gender affect the transition to parenthood, as well as what happens when parents start thinking about trying for siblings. We highlight the key roles for health care professionals (nurses, midwives, and health visitors) when caring for these new parents, in providing social support and facilitating good communication to foster emotional well-being. Ideal for nurses and midwives working in reproductive health as well as primary care nurses and health visitors, this applied text is a key reference for all healthcare professionals who meet people at any point on their journey to achieving pregnancy through IVF, during maternity care, and through the first few years of parenthood.
This book is intended for nurses and midwives who work in Assisted Reproduction clinics and those who either work in, or have an interest in womenOCOs health. The number of IVF births is increasing steadily as a percentage of all births and therefore infertility may be said to be increasingly influential in womenOCOs health nursing and midwifery. The sense of connectedness which women caring for women express and as the data in this book show, women patients feel that there is something special about being cared for by female nurses and midwives. The emotions raised in clinical practice for nurses and midwives from caring for women need attention and discussion and this book is intended to contribute to a greater awareness of emotions in clinical practice even in a busy NHS. Indeed, paying attention to emotions when you are busy may help you understand and deal with the business. This book is intended for practicing nurses and midwives and therefore each chapter ends with a reflection from the author on the implications of the data for practice and an opportunity for the reader to reflect on their practice too.
FINDERS - KEEPERS She found something she should never have read, and never have kept, a vampire's journal. Now he is coming for her. But first, he has to catch her. Ah, Josephine. I'd like to leave her alive a little longer, find out more about her, she is attractive to me in some undefinable way. But I cannot take the chance. She knows too much of me, of my world, and this cannot be permitted. I will come for her tonight. And she will die. Of course, I will have to make it interesting; she already knows how I have killed others. Haven't I seen her laugh while reading all about it? I will use my imagination with her, give her one last surprise. Although I don't think she will laugh. And I am sorry.

An Ancient Foe - A Destined Love What happens when you push a nixie too far? They snap! They kidnapped her sisters, imprisoned her mother and stole her daughter. Oh, and the man she loves says he loves another. Things are about to get very, very bloody.
When the end came for women they fell, as corn to a scythe. Only a handful could be saved; those with exceptional intelligence, strength and creativity. Sent to the stars, they hid, as darkness descended upon the Earth, knowing that one day that darkness would reach for them - and when it did, it would be worse than the scythe. For it sought not their intelligence, their strength, or their creativity - but their bodies. That time has come. For 20-year-old Selena, just thrown off the Star Biosphere Force for insubordination and anger management issues, this couldn't have come at a worse time. Finding out her sister has been captured by the men who rule Earth, she resolves nothing is going to prevent her from getting her sister back, even if it means risking her own freedom.
I need his money, I crave his blood, I desire his body. And all that shouldn't be a problem. I'll work with this arrogant, beautiful bastard, get what I want and take it all. I will, I can. I just have to remind myself over and over, 'don't bite the billionaire, don't bite the billionaire' and while I'm reminding myself this, I'll also send a memo to my long-cold, dead heart to stop stirring to life at the very sight of him.
He is arrogant, low class and rude - and I want him more than any man I have ever met. It's not just his body I want - it's his blood. And I can't have that. I need to work with him, resist his intense eyes, his bulging muscles, his mouth-watering smell - resist it all. I just have to remind myself over and over, 'don't bite the builder, don't bite the builder' and I need to stop waiting, long-dead-heart in mouth, for his footsteps on the porch.
Returning to the Star Biosphere, Selena and her small team of renegade Force soldiers must accept the ruling of the Council and stay in the stars. But, ever one to break the rules, she determines to wreak her revenge upon the Earthmen for the death of her sister, and to rescue the only man who has ever shared her bed, and her thoughts. Returning to Earth to begin her undercover operation to find Sam, Selena discovers not all she once believed about her colony in the stars may be as it seems - and the men of Earth hold even more secrets. But one thing is for sure - they underestimated women.
