Book Reviews of What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
Book Review: A Classic for new moms everywhere
Summary: 5 Stars
This book will never go out of date, and I didn't mind acquiring an older edition on Amazon when an acquaintance of mine broke the news to me that she was expecting. I love the way the chapters take a new mom through each month of her pregnancy, showing the progress of the developing fetus step by step, and letting her know what to expect. Even though this will be the third pregnancy for the woman for whom I got the book, I know she'll appreciate going through this term with a new curiosity and amazement for what is going on inside her body.
Summary of What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
Introducing a completely Revised & Updated Third Edition of America's bestselling pregnancy book, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING. Two years in the making, it's a total revision and update.Responding to the many queries and letters received from readers, WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING, 3rd EDITION address health and medical questions as well as lifestyle concerns.
Incorporating the most recent developments in medicine, the book contains both the most accurate information available, and the most reader-friendly. WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING provides expectant parents with a wealth of information on month-by-month development, making love during pregnancy, preparing for labor and delivery, and breastfeeding and bonding afterward.
The 3rd Edition also includes:
- More information on working while pregnant
- More in-depth coverage of complementary and alternative birthing
- An expanded chapter for fathers
- More information on how pregnancy affects your lifestyle
- Greater attention is paid to pre-conception, alternative families, second pregnancies, and HMO'S
- A completely new look at the Best-Odds diet, which is better suited to the needs of busier women with less time.
Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from "Should I be taking vitamins?" to "What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?" to "Will I be able to breastfeed?" The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.
The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay
