A landmark book on the womb - its history, its present and the possibilities for its future - by the bestselling author of Hard Pushed: A Midwife's Story 'It will change the way you think about bodies forever' Rachel Clarke, author of Dear Life 'A phenomenal book' Elinor Cleghorn, author of Unwell Women 'Sharp and political, learned and wise' Katherine May, author of Wintering The womb is the most miraculous organ in the body - with the power to bring life or cause death; to yield joy or pain - yet most of us know almost nothing about it. In this book, midwife and bestselling author Leah Hazard sets out on a journey to explore the rich past, complex present and dynamic future of the uterus. She speaks to the Californian doctor who believes women deserve a period-free life; walks in the footsteps of the Scottish woman whose Caesarean section changed childbirth forever; uncovers America's long history of forced and coercive sterilisation; observes uterine transplant surgery in Sweden and takes a very personal dive into the world of 'womb wellness'. Written with wisdom, warmth and nuance, and combining the author's years of experience as a midwife with medical history, scientific discovery and journalistic inquiry, Womb is an extraordinary exploration of a woefully under-researched and misunderstood organ. Above all, the book reveals that the uterus is more than the sum of its biological parts: it influences all our lives in the twenty-first century, and how we celebrate, medicate and legislate the womb might yet control where we go from here.

Bei Zugrundelegen der bundesdeutschen Perinatalerhebungen sind 1-2% aller Gravidi- taten Hochrisikoschwangerschaften. Sie stellen hoechste Anforderungen an die Geburts- hilfe und an die Neonatologie. Nur die volle Ausnutzung der modernen wissenschaftli- chen Erkenntnisse und die daraus folgende gezielte Einbeziehung bio-physikalischer, bio-chemischer und elektronischer Verfahren in Diagnostik und Therapie macht das fur Mutter und Kind bestehende hohe Risiko kalkulierbar und ermoeglicht optimale peri- neonatologische Resultate. Das vorliegende Werk gibt erstmals im deutschen Schrifttum eine umfassende Darstellung des heutigen perineonatologischen Standortes bei Hochrisikoschwanger- schaften und -geburten. Die Herausgeber stellten sich die Aufgabe, den Stellenwert der diagnostischen und therapeutischen Verfahren bei Risikoschwangerschaften kritisch darzustellen. International hervorragende Geburtshelfer, Neonatologen, Anasthesisten und Epidemiologen aus dem europaischen Raum und den USA machen umfassende Aussagen zu den hauptsachlichen Problemkreisen von Hochrisikoschwangerschaft und -geburt, der Fruh- und Mangelgeburt, dem Gestationsdiabetes, der hamolytischen Fetalerkrankung und der Praeklampsie. Jedem dieser Themen wird eine UEbersicht uber den aktuellen Stand der wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse vorangestellt. Es folgen dann die derzeitigen diagnostischen Verfahren, das perineonatologische Management bei der Geburt einschliesslich der Probleme des Neugeborenentransportes, der Regionalisie- rung der Hochrisikogeburtshilfe, der Qualitatskontrolle und der Perspektiven. Als besonderer Schwerpunkt wird die Langzeitprognose der Neugeborenen aus Hochrisi- koschwangerschaften betrachtet, da der Erfolg allen perineonatologischen Handelns an der Gesundheit der Kinder zu bemessen ist. Herausgeber und Autoren wollen mit diesem Werk die aktuelle gesundheitspolitische Diskussion zur weiteren Senkung der Perinatal- und Sauglingssterblichkeit sowie der Morbiditatsrate anregen.
