Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care is a practical guide for the management of at-risk early pregnancy.

The chapters are concise, well-illustrated and contain decision trees for the management of each condition.

Focusing on practical management, not just research, Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care will be beneficial in the clinic, as contributors are encouraged to tell the readers what to do in critical situations.

Covering key points and containing illustrative case studies, Handbook of Early Pregnancy Care is relevant to trainees in maternal-fetal medicine and obstetrics, as well as nurses and sonographers who see many at-risk patients in the early stages of pregnancy.
