Description

We're expecting again! Announcing the COMPLETELY REVISED AND UPDATED FOURTH EDITION of this bestselling pregnancy book. This is a cover-to-cover, chapter-by-chapter, line-by-line revision and update. It's a new book for a new generation of expectant mums, featuring a fresh perspective and a friendlier-than-ever voice. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week foetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples. The Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy).There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (advice on riding the mood roller coaster), 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 that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints and humour (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect...only better.

  • A must read for all pregnant women and their partners! Provides a ton of useful information on all aspects of pregnancy. I kept it close at hand from the time I found out I was pregnant until I was actually in labor! Answers all the questions you have and some you wouldn't even think to ask! Would recommend to everyone who is expecting!

  • This book is awesome. I read it at least once a week in order to get an update on what the week may bring, I have also read What to Expect Before You're Expecting and I look forward to reading the First Year & Toddler Years. This book really answers all of my questions, calms concerns, and becomes a keepsake as it begins a vital part of your journey. Must read for first time moms.

  • This book has been updated obviously... When I was pregnant with my first child I received this as a gift, and for a person that's had NO experience whatsoever with babies or pregnant women... it has helped. The other reviewers naysay it, but I felt pretty well informed reading it. I'd rather know about what's happening, the good and potentially bad, then be left in the dark. I still flip through it sometimes, being pregnant again, just to refresh my memory of what's going on.
