‘My best friend during my pregnancy’ Mariella Frostrup
With 18.5 million copies in print, What to Expect When You’re Expecting is read by 93 per cent 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 new edition is filled with must-have information, advice, insight, and tips for a new generation of parents.
With Heidi Murkoff’s trademark warmth, empathy, and humour, What to Expect When You’re Expecting answers every conceivable question expectant parents could have, including dozens of new ones based on the ever-changing pregnancy and birthing practices, and choices they face.
Advice for partners is fully integrated throughout the book.
All medical coverage is completely updated for the UK, 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 caesareans’).
The best pregnancy guide just got even better.

Contents of the book are great – simple, informative – but the binding on the paperback book itself is rubbish! Half the pages fell out before I got halfway through.

I love the information this book gives you !!
by Nina Jayasinghe
Very informative, well structured and straightforward. We’ve found this very useful, but there’s a few points where you wonder if this is the perfect book for someone outside the US as it has references that may not be as applicable. Not a deal breaker but something to consider.

The book and its content are very helpful. Unfortunate that as I read and turn pages they fall out of the spine. I.e., the book isn’t well bound together and can make it difficult to read.

Helpful little go to book for newbies to parenting and also informational for people that have had experience with children. Nice to have little sections in there specifically for the partners too as they too can feel a bit left out with all the changes happening in pregnancy.

This is like a encyclopaedia for pregnant women. All questions you possibly could ask the answers are there. And all about UK and up to date. I just started to read it but already found a lot of answers. Really this is must have book for mums to be!
by Geraldine Waddington
It’s a good book but it’s frustrating when the pages keep falling off. You cant really open the book widely as the pages will start separating. The binding quality is so poor. Im not sure if this is the same for the hardbound ones as I purchased the paperback!

My daughter loves it. So useful when you are pregnant with good advice and information.
