Something is Missing
The Pregnant Woman's Comfort guide offers time-tested tips and also some alternative methods to help relieve the discomforts and pains of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum days. Jimenez' work is commendable except for the very obvious fact that she devotes only about 2 pages to morning sickness, which is one of the most common (and most miserable) symptoms of preganncy. Treating morning sickness as a blip in a book seems inexcusable from a woman who is a registered nurse and long-time childbirth educator. Some women suffer so greatly from this malady that they must be hospitalized, yet many in the medical community still brush it off and continue to offer the same tired advice, like eating crackers, drinking tea and getting lots of rest. Even though some women do not get morning sickness, it is a common enough, and serious enough, complaint to warrant MUCH more attention in a book designed to alleviate pregnancy woes. ... Read more

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE!!
I thought that this book was actually going to give me options on ow to manage my high risk pregnancy and what to do or avoid in order to stay pregnant, but it did NOT!! It's more of a dictionary. It explains some things and what the meaning of medical terms are but it doesn't give you any advice whatsoever. It doesn't tell you anythhing that your doctor can't tell you.I wouldn't recomment it at all.

Very Refreshing
It was a great book with lots and lots of information. I have lost two sons to still birth and this book gave me hopes and options and let me be in the drivers seat. It gave me knowledge so I won't have to depend on the doctor to give me all the information I need and desire. I would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced a loss and needs a little more answers than what was provided. ... Read more

Product Description
Hypertensive disorders remain one the major causes of maternal and fetal morbidity and death. It is also a leading cause of preterm birth now known to be a risk factor in remote cardiovascular disease. Despite this the hypertensive disorders remain marginally studied and management is often controversial. Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders in Pregnancy, remains one of the beacons to guide this field, recognized for its uniqueness and utility. The Third Edition continues this tradition, focusing on prediction, prevention, and management for clinicians, and is an essential reference text for clinical and basic investigators alike. Differing from other texts devoted to preeclampsia, it covers the whole gamut of high blood pressure, and not just preeclampsia.

NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION:
* New chapters focusing on recent discoveries inangiogenesis, auto-antibodies and other recent immunological findings, imaging in eclampsa, animal models - where considerable progress has emerged since the previous edition
* Extensive updates to chapters on epidemiology, etiological considerations, pathophysiology, prediction, prevention, and management
* Systematic reviews and metanalysis of trials regarding prediction and antihypertensive treatment
* Discussions on the emerging roles of metabolic syndrome and obesity and the increasing incidence of preeclampsia
* Epodemiological coverage of preeclampsia as a risk factor for future metabolic and cardiovascular disease that permits early intervention and life style changes ... Read more

An outstanding reference book
Chesley's Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy is the seminal textbook on the subject. It is really strong on the epidemiology of the hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. It is a little weak on the basic science side, with chapters written by investigators highlighting their own research, not a broad enough scope of the field in my opinion. That being said, it is the best that is out there, and a "must have" for clinicians and researchers interested in hypertension in pregnancy in all of its forms.

methyldopa-pheochromocytoma-pregnacy
As a cardiologist that hasbeen involved recently in dealing with hypertension and pregnacy I found this book very useful, but with surprise I notice that in Chapter 19, Chronic Hypertension and Pregnacy by P. August and M. Lindheimer there isn't any mention about the interferencethat can produce methyldopa inthelaboratory diagnostic of pheocromocytoma.

Product Description
An infection that occurs during pregnancy presents a constellation of problems above and beyond those normally associated with the disease. Even a relatively minor infection can threaten the lives of both mother and fetus and cause serious birth defects; and many conventional treatments can produce disastrous side effects during pregnancy. Over the past half-decade, enormous strides have been made in our ability to understand, diagnose, and treat infections in pregnant women.

Infections in Pregnancy, Second Edition, is expanded to cover the latest and most useful guidelines for understanding, diagnosing, and treating infections during pregnancy. This comprehensive volume contains in-depth explanations of dozens of diseases and their pathologies, from common infections, such as human papilloma virus, to new and rare diseases. It provides important information on the administration, monitoring, and side effects of new antibiotics; reviews the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's current guidelines for treating sexually transmitted diseases; and describes the latest methods for treating HIV-positive obstetrical patients.

Additional topics include:
* Microflora of the genital tract
* Urinary tract infection in pregnancy
* Group B streptococcus infection in pregnancy
* Pregnancy and septic shock
* Sexually transmitted diseases: syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, chancroid, lymphogranuloma venereum, granuloma inguinale, molluscum contagiosum, pediculosis pubis, scabies, and herpes simplex
* Cytomegalovirus infection in pregnancy
* Hepatitis in pregnancy
* Varicella-Zoster infection in pregnancy
* Mumps, measles, influenza, and pneumonia in pregnancy
* Human parvovirus B19 infection in pregnancy
* Protozoan infection in pregnancy

Written by two leading experts in the field and supplemented with more than 100 illustrations, Infections in Pregnancy, Second Edition, guides obstetricians, gynecologists, infectious disease specialists, and physicians in family practice and internal medicine in their efforts to minimize the short- and long-term impact of these infections. ...
