Prenatal CareGuest Editor: David R. Harnisch Sr, MD

In seeking to bring some balance to the debate, as guest editor of this volume from Elsevier, I have worked hard to find both ends of the spectrum in terms of practice style, geographical location, subspecialty, health care profession affiliation, and population center demographics. Represented in the articles that follow, I have been aided by practitioners who advocate birthing centers versus typical labor and delivery suites to incorporating perinatal intensive care units aided by high-risk pregnancy consultants; providers from both coasts and the great midlands of the United States; obstetricians, family physicians, midwives, and dietitians; from large cities based at University quaternary care centers to the rural practitioner at a small community hospital. On top of this I have asked each of the authors to review the work and content of each others’ articles and to comment on it from their unique perspective while always maintaining their local, regional, or national standards of care. Incorporated also into the authors’ works are their perspectives from their ethical backgrounds.

What has resulted is this small work of 12 articles covering some of the significant topics of our day presented from a variety of perspectives seeking to balance the art and science of obstetrics for you. We, the authors, feel this work provides a cutting-edge review for you and will help to provide you with solid footing as well as necessary review for your practice.
