As a future ob/gyn, I found this book to be very enlightening. It starts way before conception, focusing on what a woman should do before planning a baby (such as taking folic acid) and goes well past labor and delivery. It also has a few graphic pictures, so it is not for the faint of heart. It is full of medical jargon, so if you are interested in the field, it's definitely a good book to have.
