What to Expect When You're Expecting

For the fifth edition, Heidi Murkoff has rewritten and revamped every section of the bestselling pregnancy book of all time, answering dozens of new questions and including new much-requested material, such as info for dad throughout the text, the latest recommendations on what to eat and drink while pregnant, and a brand-new chapter about birth control options postpartum. More comprehensive and reassuring than ever, the fifth edition includes help with deciphering the most current lifestyle trends (from juice bars and raw diets to cord blood banking and mommy wars), as well as information on pregnancy matters physical (fertility treatments, first trimester ultrasounds, and breastfeeding), emotional (advice on postpartum anxiety and paternal PPD), nutritional (whether you're hooked on wheatgrass or caffeine), and social (gender reveals, pregnancy selfies, and social media baby bump-posting). Chock full of tips, helpful hints, and humour (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's a fully revised and up-to-date version of the classic that parents have known and trusted for over three decades.
