title: Hematologic disease in pregnancy: the obstetrician's perspective.
abstract: Pregnancy can be a time of significantly increased morbidity and mortality in women with hematologic disease. With careful planning and preparation, most women can be cared for safely, resulting in a healthy mother and child. Management concerns in each trimester are reviewed, with a particular focus on labor and delivery planning and common obstetric complications. Diagnostic testing and the use of medications in pregnancy and lactation are discussed in detail.
