About this book
This second edition of Antenatal Disorders for the MRCOG and Beyond has been extensively updated to reflect current clinical practice and developments in the field since the publication of the original edition. Six new chapters have been added on topics that have become increasingly important since the first edition: antenatal screening and prenatal diagnosis; drug and alcohol misuse in pregnancy; dealing with social disadvantage: safeguarding mother and child; malpresentation in women with previous caesarean section; maternal mental health disorders; and prolonged pregnancy. The book provides a comprehensive overview of antenatal disorders, from risk assessment and assessment of fetal wellbeing to common medical disorders in pregnancy. While primarily designed to help candidates preparing for the Part 2 MRCOG examination, the book will also be of use to all healthcare professionals working in antenatal care - trainees, midwives, consultants, etc. - who want an update at any stage in their career.
