High Risk Pregnancy

An up-to-date textbook covering all aspects of high-risk pregnancy.

Problems in pregnancy can originate maternally or in the foetus and the text divides naturally into these two areas.

Each source of potential difficulty is assessed in terms of pre-disposing factors and its implications for the mother and her child.

Contemporary approaches to investigations and management are fully discussed with emphasis on reducing risk, where appropriate.

Common causes of difficulties in pregnancy, such as those arising from diabetes, are dealt with in detail, as are rarer conditions.
