About the Book

Pregnancy results in profound changes in maternal physiology and metabolism, orchestrated by hormonal changes. Similarly, physical, biochemical, hormonal and hematological measurements of the fetus change markedly as the fetus grows in size and maturity. It is essential that practitioners have a knowledge of these changes to be sure that maternal and fetal disorders are diagnosed and managed effectively. This book contains: a comprehensive collection of both maternal and fetal normal values; normal values displayed in user-friendly graphs; interpretation of the data is provided in succinct "comment" sections; normal values expressed in SI and non-SI units of measurement.
