Description

This book is a complete guide to couples craving for their first or subsequent child and those who are lost in despair and gloom of infertility. This should help not only the couples suffering from the problem, but also their family members and friends. This book is a superb aid in grasping the key concepts of psychology in a focussed method, clearly demonstrating how the explanation concepts can be used within contemporary day midwifery practice settings. This book provides information on the evidence-based management of women with hypertension throughout pregnancy, supported by important background information on the etiology, risk-factors and pathophysiology of these disorders. Illustrated with accompanying algorithms, tables and lists for quick reference on diagnostic criteria, drugs, and side-effects. Fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the genital organs of women in reproductive age. Achieving reproductive function later in life, with more frequent use of assisted reproductive technologies, leads to an increased number of pregnancies complicated with fibroids. Their size may change during pregnancy, but the changes are mostly individual. Most fibroids stop growing or decline during the puerperium. The effect of fibroids on pregnancy depends on their number, size, and location. The mechanisms bringing about perinatal complications are not fully understood. We hope this book will be a limelight through this unknown path of pregnancy.
