Obstetrics Simplified

Abstract

Obstetrics Simplified by Diaa M. El-Mowafi is a comprehensive educational textbook that presents the fundamental principles and clinical practice of obstetrics. The book provides a systematic overview of reproductive physiology, maternal adaptations to pregnancy, fetal development, placental function, pregnancy diagnosis and antenatal care. It explores the recognition and management of normal and abnormal pregnancy, including obstetric complications such as ectopic pregnancy, hypertensive disorders, antepartum haemorrhage, diabetes, preterm labour and other high-risk pregnancy conditions. Further topics include the mechanisms and management of normal and abnormal labour, fetal assessment and wellbeing, puerperal care, obstetric emergencies and operative obstetric procedures. By organising essential obstetric knowledge into clearly defined subject areas, the book serves as a learning and reference resource for medical students, midwifery students and healthcare professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of maternal and fetal care.
