xxv, 597 p. : ill. ; 24 cm We're expecting again! Announcing the completely revised and updated third edition of America's best-selling pregnancy book, What to Expect When You're Expecting. Two years in the making, it's a cover-to-cover, chapter-by- chapter, line-by-line revision and update. Everything that the original did-which, at just shy of 10 million copies in print, it did extraordinarily well-the third edition does, and better. Incorporating the most recent developments in medicine, and responding to the many queries and letters received from readers, the book contains both the most accurate information available, and the most reader-friendly. The third edition includes more information on working while pregnant. It offers more in- depth coverage of complementary and alternative birthing. Greater attention is paid to pre-conception, alternative families, second pregnancies, HMOs, the role of the father, and lifestyle. There's a completely new look at the best- odds diet, which is better suited to the needs of busier women with less time. An updated cover and all-new black- and-white illustrations give the classic a fresher look In the beginning: Are you pregnant? -- What it's important to know -- Now that you're pregnant -- Coping with pregnancy loss -- Next baby: Preparing for the next baby - - Appendix -- Pregnancy notes Are you pregnant?
