Book - Product Information
What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third EditionHeidi Murkoff
Rating: 3.0/5 Stars Rank: 92 This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from "Should I be taking vitamins?" to "What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?" to "Will I be able to breastfeed?" The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be. The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though
many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for
expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor
illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to
Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes
an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth
bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay About the AuthorHeidi Murkoff is the co-author of the What to Expect series with her mother, Arlene Eisenberg, and sister Sandee Hathaway.In addition, she runs the What to Expect Foundation, which she cofounded with her mother.
