Summary:

This book is designed to be a comprehensive, but easily accessible, resource for the practicing clinician faced with a medical problem in pregnancy. It is intended for those already possessing some expertise in the field, as well as for physicians and obstetricians faced with an obstetric medicine problem of which they have limited experience. It will provide them with a vade mecum for common and not so common medical problems in pregnancy. Although the book will be most relevant to practitioners coming from either a medical or an obstetric background, it will also be useful to other specialists, such as obstetric anaesthetists and general practitioners, who are involved in treating women with medical disorders of pregnancy.
