Our increased knowledge and appreciation of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) has been making headlines across medical research and practice. Stretched to the Limits is the first text to apply this new understanding directly to midwifery. The book details the effects of hEDS on the different bodily systems, and the implications for pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatally. Midwives and doulas are likely, at some point in their careers, to come across women with this most common subtype. HEDS affects at least 1 in 5000 women, but they frequently find themselves on a care pathway more suitable for those with other, rarer, subtypes, such as classic EDS (cEDS) or vascular EDS (vEDS). Additionally, much of the advice detailed here will also help to support the 20 per cent of the population with more generalised hypermobility.
