Description
This book serves as a guide to a comprehensive range of diagnostic screenings and tests used during pregnancy. It links routine antenatal
care with specialist investigations, describing when follow up is required and how to interpret the results. Designed for ease of reference,
this resource helps midwives make informed, evidence-based clinical decisions. It also provides guidance about how best to discuss sensitive
issues with mothers and how to provide support to parents receiving bad news. This book is an essential resource for midwives and other
health professionals involved in delivering antenatal care to women and their families. Expert contributors ensure that the information
is reliable and up-to-date, and the easy-to-use format guides practitioners through each procedure, interpretation of results, and appropriate
interventions.
