Written by international experts, this practical guide is an invaluable resource for all health professionals dealing with obese pregnant women on a day-to-day basis.
With the dramatic increase in the incidence of obesity in the UK and many other developed nations in recent years, this text, incorporating largely evidence-based material, has been released at an appropriate time and will serve as a useful guide for healthcare professionals.
