What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition description
Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. 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 |

My favorite pregnancy book
|
I bought What to Expect When You're Expecting back in the mid 80's when it first came out. At the time, I just picked it off the bookstore shelf, not knowing anything about it. It proved invaluable for me.
Over the next decade or so, I added dozens of pregnancy books to my library. I also gave birth to six beautiful children. I must say, out of ALL my pregnancy books, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still my #1 all-time, can't-live-without, favorite pregnancy book.
If you're not sure whether to get it or not, read all the five star ratings. Then read all the one star ratings. Then take the word of a friend who actually used the book for more than one pregnancy. Each pregnancy is different. I had two induced births, two normal births, and two home births. What to Expect When You're Expecting is filled with practical advice no matter what kind of pregnancy you are experiencing. The reason it is so popular is because it's actually a great book. |
