If you are looking for a bible on conception, pregnancy and labour, you need not look further than Heather Welford's Pregnancy, a practical and reassuring guide to the changes in your body, your baby and your life. This book provides all the information necessary to empower parents-to-be to prepare and plan for a healthy and happy pregnancy and to act as informed partners alongside medical staff in the childbirth process.
Pregnancy can be used throughout the duration of a pregnancy to answer common questions and address medical concerns. The book is divided into seven chapters covering conception, health during pregnancy, the three trimesters, labour and post delivery. Of particular interest to parents-to-be will be the three chapters describing the trimesters of pregnancy. Each month is covered in detail, providing descriptions and photographic illustrations of the growing foetus and information on what to expect both physically and emotionally.
Another highlight of this book includes individual accounts from women who have experienced pregnancy, providing personal insight into the joys and difficulties of conceiving, carrying and giving birth to a baby. There are also sections in each chapter devoted to answering frequently asked questions covering such pertinent topics as preparing for conception, the emotional impact of pregnancy, antenatal testing, your rights at work and episiotomy. --Abbe Jacobson
