Overview

For a newly pregnant woman, her first entr e to the obstetrician is often met with an elaborate questionnaire that can seem as long as the pregnancy itself. However, it is a vital road map to the conditions that each pregnancy brings. Now, seasoned obstetrician Rex Hubbard, MD, shares his stories from the field in My Obstetrical Record, My Obstetrician, My Pregnancy, and Me. Using the questions on a patient record, he recounts the vast, varied experiences of his patients over the course of his career. What's in a name? Yours could hold information on your DNA that can affect your child. What is so important about your cycle? Correct timing could preempt life-changing events, as it may have for the patient with abdominal cramps, who was doubled over from something quite different than a sour stomach. Why is the doctor running late? It could be due to an unforeseen conflict, such as Hubbard's encounter with another patient's life-threatening situation. Rich in stories that celebrate the joy and the poignancy of this special time, Dr. Hubbard's easy-to-read and impossible-to-forget tales will give you a refreshing new perspective on the medical odyssey of pregnancy, from the first test to your baby's first breath.
