Excellent starting point
This book is an excellent starting point for any Midwifery Students who have to cover medical complications during pregnancy etc. Not a fully comprehensive book so further reading will have to be done on each of the areas covered but the book is fully referenced. This book is recommended by most midwifery courses so either get a copy early from library or get your own copy but will be useful.
