It will also explain what you need to do for yourself to make sure you stay healthy during and after your pregnancy.”

“This is the first book written by a high-risk pregnancy doctor for the general public,” Dr. Hux adds. “I wrote this book because for the past quarter century I have been counseling my patients on many different topics regarding their pregnancies. I thought it was time to put together a book on the most common and not so common questions and concerns my patients have.”
Dr. Charles Hux attended Case Western Reserve School of Medicine and completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology and a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at Thomas Jefferson University. He received a master’s degree in genetics from Rutgers University. He maintains a private practice in Sea Girt, NJ and is primarily affiliated with Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch, NJ.
