Book Description

Excerpt from The Prospective Mother: A Handbook for Women During Pregnancy This book, written for women who have no special knowledge of medicine, aims to answer the questions which occur to them in the course of pregnancy. Di rections for safeguarding their health have been given in detail, and emphasis has been placed upon such measures as may serve to prevent serious complica tions. Treatment of such conditions has not been dis cussed, as it can be judiciously carried out only by a physician who has the opportunity to observe and study the individual patient. Furthermore, if there is to be notable improvement in the management of cases of childbirth, the appearance of untoward symptoms should not be awaited before consulting a physician; on the contrary, prospective mothers must be taught that they should be under competent med ical supervision throughout pregnancy.
