The management of early pregnancy and, in particular, failed first trimester pregnancies has changed dramatically over the last decade. Once a diagnosis has been made, the range of surgical and medical therapies available has increased greatly. Aimed at practising obstetricians and those in training, 'The Clinical Management of Early Pregnancy' provides information on miscarriage and related problems of early pregnancy and their clinical management. Topics discussed include ectopic pregnancy, the investigation and management of pain and bleeding during the first trimester and preventative therapies for recurrent miscarriage. Termination of pregnancy, preconception counselling and the psychological aspects of miscarriage are also covered.
