Announcing a brand new, cover-to-cover revision of America's pregnancy bible. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's 25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy book--the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with over 14.5 million copies in print. Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new generation of expectant moms--featuring a new look, a fresh perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, the Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect... only better.

3.0 What to Expect When You're Expecting
Aside from the book's assumption that all women have cozy office jobs that they can just work from home, or are able to take long periods of time off pre-labor (no mention at all about a woman being the sole source of income for the household - husband *must* have an office job in all marriages!), W...

4.5 W oczekiwaniu na dziecko - świetny poradnik!
Oczekiwanie na narodzenie dziecka jest czasem wymagającym wytrwałości i czasem, w którym konieczne jest podjęcie wielu ważnych decyzji. Często przyszłe matki czują się zagubione i nieco bezradne w nowej sytuacji i nawet najprostsze sprawy urastają do rangi problemów trudnych do przezwyciężenia. Ni...

This was always the one book that I knew I would read if I were expecting. Now I am, so I didn't hesitate to pick it up. While What to Expect When You're Expecting gave me a lot of information that I didn't know previously, I was always looking for more. This book is a great starter for the new/soon...

This book gives the worse breastfeeding advice ever! And gives all around outdated advice in regards to pregnancy and infants.

This book should be burned. And banned. And quite possibly run over by a car beforehand. Nothing makes an expectant mother more terrified than the horror stories in this book, and the idiot who decided an appropriate "breakfast" for a pregnant woman is half a bagel with one tablespoon of non-fat cr...
