What to Expect When You're Expecting (4th revised edition 2009)

Description

New fourth edition, completely revised and updated. This new−look fourth edition has been adapted for Australia and New Zealand and is the must-have 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 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 humour − a pregnant woman′s best friend‚ this new edition is easier to use than ever before.
