Very happy with this update. Prior edition was troublesome for me as it was a great reference on the pathophys but didn't really commit to the "How" of managing high risk pregnancies. This edition has more concrete recomendations. The online reference link is great- I keep that page bookmarked and access it from desktop and phone.

Because I have a passion for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, I survey the publications in this field periodically. This new edition of Creasy Resnik and Iams is one that surpasses the previous one as well as other textbooks in the field. It is comprehensive and concise and well-illustrated. Highly recommend it.
