"Core Curriculum for Maternal child Nursing" that is what i studied inside out and scored strong on the exam. There was nothing on the test that wasnt addressed in that book. Good luck!

Pick ONE and study it, is the best advice I have heard. The above are very good. Also, know your strips and physiology!

you know something, i was freaked out when i was preparing for that exam as well, as i was sitting there taking it i remember thinking..when is it going to be killer...it was difficult yes, but if you have worked ob for any length of time you'd be surprised how much you really have stored in that brain!! We go to conferences, we read, we chat with our peers, we are in online communities like this one, listservs...if you are qualified to sit for the exam by your hours worked in the field and you study, you'll be fine! Let us know how you do!!
