Handbook of Obstetric Medicine

Handbook of Obstetric Medicine, 6th Edition, is a clinical handbook authored by Catherine Nelson-Piercy and published by CRC Press. The text provides practical guidance for healthcare professionals caring for pregnant women with coexisting medical conditions.

Core coverage addresses common and serious maternal disorders encountered during gestation, including cardiovascular complications, hypertension, pre-eclampsia, and diabetes mellitus. The work also examines the physiological impacts of pregnancy alongside disease manifestations across major organ systems.

Serving as an on-the-spot guide for obstetricians, hospital physicians, general practitioners, and midwives in training and practice, the handbook organizes clinical findings using clear tables, bulleted summaries, and designated "Points to remember" boxes.
