Description Name: What to Expect When You're Expecting (Third Edition) Product ID: 12312 Manufacturer:Workman Publishing Author (s): Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, Sandee Hathaway ISBN: 0761121323 Key Features: Type: Pre-Natal Book Story Line: 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. |
