She delivers babies, saves lives, and every second is responsible for two. Анастасия Седова—an practicing obstetrician-gynecologist and author of “Bлог акушера” (“The Obstetrician’s Blog”)—in her new book has gathered the most candid stories from hospital corridors: about women who long for a miracle, and about those who aren’t ready for one.
Every day, an obstetrician-gynecologist makes a choice that affects two lives at once. There is no room for mistakes and no time for hesitation—only experience, intuition, and immense responsibility. And behind medical wording there are always living destinies: complicated, touching, sometimes frightening in their truth.
Анастасия Седова is a practicing doctor and the author of the popular channel “Блог акушера,” where thousands of people follow real stories from her practice. In the third book, “Записки акушера” (“The Obstetrician’s Notes”), she brings together honest accounts of patients who desperately strive to become mothers… and of those who are not ready to accept their own child. About severe diagnoses, sudden turns, and decisions on the brink—between risk and hope.
Why do some women refuse doctors’ help? How does years of waiting suddenly end with an unexpected miracle? What does the doctor experience when everything is decided by one step? This book is about an obstetrician’s everyday life without embellishment: sleepless shifts, emergency decisions, and those priceless seconds when a new life is born.
