Diagnostic tests in the childbearing years

This book was great it detailed every possible diagnostic test. I wouldn't reccomend this to a lay person due to the medical language, not to mention sometimes ignorance is bliss. It could be overwelming reading some of the info. But if you were in or had any medical backround this is an excellent resource.

Hands down the best overview of test for the childbearing year

Anne Frye has once again earned the number one spot for authors of midwifery-related professional texts. In my opinion this book is one of the most important titles for caregivers of women in the childbearing year. Frey weaves together her incredible depth of wisdom with the latest science. She gives the art of midwifery a breath of fresh air by including the most common issues, their tests and treatments, and the most atypical, unusual issues and the various ways of approaching diagnosis and care. This book is extremely valuable for caregivers of the holistic approach but should be a required read for med students who are going to work with women and pregnancy. They would gather the sense of awe so beautifully injected to the text. Despite what some may have heard about its size, this is one of the only books that I carry to all my prenatals. The format is easy to find your way through and nearly every subject is presented in clear non-threatening language. Not only is this book an informative "must have" for birth professionals but also it is a fascinating read. There are so many issues covered for anything and everything that a mother and newborn might be tested for or diagnosed with. I highly recommend this book.
