If you click on the references in the text you will be taken to their source. I prefer this method to a reference list at the bottom because people can easily go to the article and get the details. I have included links where I have used research articles – the cochrane review will also cite their references. For the physiology bits – you can find this in any midwifery text book. Perhaps ask the pretticionars who routinely do this to provide evidence to support their practice
