A completely revised and updated edition of America’s pregnancy bible, the longest-running New York Times bestseller ever. With 18.5 million copies in print, What to Expect When You’re Expecting is read by 93% of women who read a pregnancy book and was named one of the “Most Influential Books of the Last 25 Years” by USA Today. This cover-to-cover (including the cover!) new edition is filled with must-have information, advice, insight, and tips for a new generation of moms and dads. With What to Expect’s trademark warmth, empathy, and humor, it answers every conceivable question expecting parents could have, including dozens of new ones based on the ever-changing pregnancy and birthing practices and choices they face. Advice for dads is fully integrated throughout the book. All medical coverage is completely updated, including the latest on prenatal screening and the safety of medications during pregnancy, as well as a brand-new section on postpartum birth control. Current lifestyle trends are incorporated, too: juice bars, raw diets, e-cigarettes, push presents, baby bump posting, the lowdown on omega-3 fatty acids, grass-fed and organic, health food fads, and GMOs. Plus expanded coverage of IVF pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, breastfeeding while pregnant, water and home births, and cesarean trends (including VBACs and “gentle cesareans”).

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 And gives all around outdated advice in regards to pregnancy and infants.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...
