What to Expect When You're Expecting: Revised & Expanded Second Edition

Should I be drinking milk? Is all this kicking normal? The questions swirl madly from the second you see that the pregnancy test is positive. From that first exciting moment to when postpartum exercise starts to seem like more than a good idea, this comprehensive guide for new mothers and fathers allays pregnancy-related worries, month by month. In the "Nine Months and Counting: From Conception to Delivery" section of the book, each month's chapter includes what you can expect at the doctor's office, what you may be feeling (and what you might look like!), what you may be concerned about, and what it's important to know during that particular month. This revised edition includes input from readers who asked for more information on subsequent pregnancies, chronic medical conditions, illness during pregnancy, and possible complications. The authors (all of them mothers) maintain a calm and reassuring tone throughout the book; this empathetic approach, combined with reliable information, has made this a national bestseller for parents-to-be.
