Pregnancy for Older Women: Assessing the Medical Risks

By Phyllis Kernoff Mansfield

As more and more women decide to have children in later life, the medical establishment is being forced to reevaluate its traditional stance that such women are high-risk. Pregnancy for Older Women is the only book to present a comprehensive scientific analysis of the medical literature, exploring such controversial issues as amniocentesis, the use of cesarean section, and the effect of doctor's assumptions on case outcomes.
