Amazon review comments (previous editions) As a student midwife I have found this book invaluable to my training. It covers common medical conditions and their effects on pregnancy. The volume has proved especially useful for several of my second year assignments which focus more on the 'abnormal' pregnancy. I will continue to use this book throughout my training ...
