    About this ebook

    If you only buy one pregnancy book, this should be the one! It’s the most complete. It covers all aspects of childbearing, from conception through early infancy, and tells you what to expect. It offers detailed information, suggestions on decisions to make, and advice on steps to take to have a safe and satisfying experience.

    The Award-Winning Resource Recommended by Experts & Loved by Parents

    Parents love this book because it puts them in control by explaining a wide range of options, information, and questions to ask, so parents can find what works best for their health situation, personal goals, and priorities.

    Experts love this book because it’s based on the latest medical research and recommendations from leading health organizations. It’s practical—rooted in the real-life experiences of new families. The five authors bring a combined total of 150 years of experience working with expectant and new families as educators, nurses, counselors, doulas, physical therapists, and lactation consultants. They have attended hundreds of births, heard thousands of birth stories, and assisted innumerable new parents in adapting to their new lives. Not only that, the authors have a combined total of 12 children and 12 grandchildren. All of this experience allows them to write with compassion, understanding, and wisdom based on what really works in the real-world of parenting.

    The companion website offers even more details on select subjects, including lists of all the best resources on each topic and worksheets to guide parents’ decision-making process. The website also includes a bonus chapter on pre-conception, which provides ways to improve your health and fertility before pregnancy begins.

      My OB recommended that I read this book while I was pregnant. I found it very helpful, especially right before I gave birth. It isn't a good guide for the week-by-week changes that a pregnant woman goes through. It is so much better at explaining labor, delivery, and the changes a body goes through afterwards. The authors also did a wonderful job of talking about the interventions and choices one can make during labor and delivery. I also found myself referring back to it once I came home with my newborn, both for explanations about my newborn and it helped answer some of the missing pieces from labor and delivery. This is one of the best pregnancy and childbirth books-- skip the popular What to Expect guides and get this instead.
