Review
From medical conditions which affect pregnancy to their influence upon the normal stages of pregnancy, this provide clear information for mothers with heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and other disorders. Plenty of pregnancy titles include mention of these topics in their chapters; but few provide the in-depth information. -- Midwest Book Review

2.0 out of 5 stars
Some support, but minimal information,
This review is from: The High-Risk Pregnancy Sourcebook (Paperback)
This book is good if you are looking for comfort, it is disappointing if you are looking for information. Advantages: It gives simple and clear explanations about pregnancy complications with some background, so it can be understood by almost anyone. Disadvantages: There is hardly any precise data (for example: what level of protein is considered dangerous, what is the reoccurrence rate of pre-eclampsia, etc. ). The main advice of the book is to consult your care giver, well, I bought this book because I wanted to learn more myself and ask my doctor less questions... The book has very little additional information above a normal pregnancy guide book.

Very helpful,
By A Customer
This review is from: The High-Risk Pregnancy Sourcebook (Paperback)
This is a very good book, and offers a lot of valuable information. Unfortunately I didn't know that I had a ihgh-risk pregnancy until it was too late, and I spent three months in the hospital. This book was a major source of information and support. I appreciated having clear explanations of the disorders of pregnany. I also have the book "Days in Waiting" by Mary McCann, which is a bedrest book that offers all the information about bedrest that this one doesn't. Between the two books, all of my concerns and questions were answered. I recommend both of them highly.
