Notes of an Obstetrician: Stories from the Maternity Ward

Every day, an obstetrician-gynecologist makes decisions that affect two lives simultaneously. There is no room for error, no time for doubt – only experience, intuition, and tremendous responsibility. But behind the dry terminology, there are real human stories: complex, touching, and sometimes shocking.

Anastasia Sedova is a practicing obstetrician-gynecologist, the author of the popular channel "Obstetrician's Blog," where thousands of readers follow stories from actual medical practice.

In her third book "Notes of an Obstetrician," Anastasia has collected true stories about women who desperately want to become mothers… and those who are not ready to accept their child. About difficult diagnoses, unexpected twists, and the choice between risk and hope.

Why do some patients refuse the help of doctors? How does many years of waiting end in an unexpected miracle? What does a doctor feel when the outcome depends on a single decision? 

This book is about the daily life of an obstetrician – without embellishments or filters, about sleepless shifts, emergency decisions, and priceless moments when new life emerges into the world.
