Pregnant women older than 35 are at risk for a variety of medical problems. According to the medical community, one way to reduce those risks is to monitor their pregnancies closely to identify problems down to the cellular level if necessary. This is only one of the issues addressed in this introduction to maternal and neonatal nursing; it also covers the process of conception and fetal development, family planning through contraception, treatment for infertility, physiological and psychological factors of pregnancy, prenatal care (including maternal daily dietary allowances), high-risk pregnancy, labor and birth and their complications, postpartum care of mothers and babies, complications of the postpartum period, neonatal assessment and care, high-risk neonatal conditions, and laboratory values for neonatal and pregnant patients.
