What to Expect When You're Expecting

Australia's pregnancy bible WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING is the iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be. This is THE book for a new generation of expectant parents. Its up-to-date information reflects what's new in pregnancy and what's relevant to today's pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section, answering dozens of new questions and including new by-demand material, such as detailed week-by-week fetal development guides in each of the monthly chapters, more on pre-conception, and a section on carrying multiples. More comprehensive and reassuring than ever, the fourth edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses current lifestyle trends: from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy. there's more than ever on practical matters: an expanded section on workplace concerns; physical, with more symptoms and more solutions; emotional, more advice on riding the mood rollercoaster; nutritional, from low-carb to vegan, from junk food-dependent to caffeine-addicted; and sexual, what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking, as well as much more support for the expectant dad. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor, a pregnant woman's best friend, this new edition is easier to use than ever before.
