There are 62 million women of childbearing age in the United
States, 85% of whom will give birth by age 44. One third of women
enter pregnancy with a chronic medical illness and 50% are
overweight or obese. Only 55% will have obtained preventive health
services in any given year, and 17 million women do not have health
insurance. The need for an educated provider community to care for
these patients is enormous. Medical Management of the Pregnant
Patient fills the need for a practical handbook that addresses the
clinical care of pregnant patients. The content is protocol-based
and uses algorithms to discuss preconception care, care during
pregnancy, labor and delivery and how to link postpartum care with
ongoing primary care. A brief overview of physiology, its impact on
pregnancy and diagnostic and treatment recommendations are
included. Each section covers both diseases that may exist
independent of pregnancy and diseases unique to pregnancy.
Additionally, symptom-based complaints are incorporated into each
section and cross-referenced appropriately.
