Description

Should I drink milk? Is it normal that the baby kicks so much? Can we have sex and until when? The questions are countless from the moment the pregnancy test comes back positive. The answers are right here!

A comprehensive guide that provides information on all topics of interest to expecting parents, such as choosing a doctor, diagnostic methods, exercise, birth options, second pregnancy, twins, sex during pregnancy, and cesarean sections, and offers practical advice to handle common and unusual pregnancy symptoms.

Pregnancy is examined month by month, and couples are guided step by step through childbirth, postpartum care, and breastfeeding. Additionally, a detailed nutrition guide for pregnancy and breastfeeding is included, along with separate sections in each chapter for expecting dads, partners, and single mothers.

This revised edition contains all the medical advances regarding prenatal screening and the safety of medications during pregnancy, answers to issues related to all modern trends: raw food and vegetarian diets, e-cigarettes, organic and genetically modified products, and many other topics that concern modern prospective parents.

Moreover, significant emphasis has been placed on the subjects of in-vitro fertilization, multiple pregnancies, breastfeeding during pregnancy, home and water births, as well as the latest developments in cesarean sections.

The author, a mother herself, maintains a calm and reassuring tone throughout the book, practically aiding expecting parents during this challenging and anxiety-filled period of their lives. The book that pregnant women and doctors around the world trust!

They said about the book

“It’s like having a personal obstetrician guiding you... Fully revised and enriched, filled with information and useful advice just like what you would hear from your favorite doctor or midwife – an experienced doctor, wise and entertaining, meticulous yet practical, organized, enthusiastic, and understanding.” (Dr Charles J. Lockwood)

    The truth is that I bought it hoping to read it, but it seemed way too big and confusing to me, as for whatever you need you have to go back and forth. It is practical if you are looking for something specific for the month you are in, but I feel that it would make me overthink things. Maybe I was intimidated by its size.

    Amazing book! It helped me a lot during my pregnancy. I read it slowly, month by month so that I would remember the information. It is the best there is right now!

    Very good book. I was very anxious and was looking for something like this to help me with some questions. Of course, you are constantly in contact with the doctor who is monitoring you, but you also have this book next to you to help you and explain some things to you. Get it and you won't regret it.
