 Great resource ( anjil88 )
I am a CNM and refer to this book often. It is well organized, easy to use and condenses the current research in a clear and succinct manner.

 Drugs in Pregnancy reference
Big, bountiful, beautiful book. Heavy, hard to get around, huge for transport reference guide. Quite expensive and not very portable... palm pilot version would be nice or quick, pocket reference....

my single most valuable reference book
I do locum tenens (temporary) doctoring and when I go on an assignment this is the first book to go in my suitcase. I take it to the office with me in the morning and take it home at night in case I get a question that I need it for. It is clear, concise, comprehensive and as authoritative as any text can be. If you care for or prescribe meds to pregnant or lactating women, this is a "must have".
