Written in a consistent, accessible style, the book discusses each medical problem at all stages - from pre-pregnancy through the post-partum period - and provides a stage-by-stage management plan for each condition. Organized by systems, each chapter begins with a review of important background information on the physiology and pathology of the system as it relates to pregnancy and then moves on to consider individual medical problems, such as hypertension, cariomyopathies, etc. The book's scope also includes the management of the acutely ill patient, pre-pregnancy counselling, anaesthesia, effects on the neonate, and the long-term implications of medical complications.

- Takes a modern, problem-based approach to the subject
- Emphasis is on 'what to do', using a consistent, stage-by-stage approach to management for each condition
- Provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying physiology and pathology of medical problems for each systemic group of conditions
