Announcing a brand new, cover-to-cover revision of America's
pregnancy bible. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a
perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's
25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by
more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy
book—the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with
over 14.5 million copies in print.
Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new
generation of expectant moms—featuring a new look, a fresh
perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled
with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only
what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant
women. 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
fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters,
an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one
on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and
empathetic than ever, 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 (more 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 humor (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?
