What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
by Authors: Heidi Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, Sandee Hathaway

Paperback
Description: Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from "Should I be taking vitamins?" to "What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?" to "Will I be able to breastfeed?" The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.

The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay

Average Customer Rating:

Detailed, valuable and recommended!

I would like to recommend this book especially to first time mothers because it has wonderful month by month pictures and information detailing the monthly changes in your body. The author has presented "everything" in a step-by-step format, which is very useful and easy to follow. This book will answer most of your questions. It provides also a lot of information about what may go wrong. I guess that this specific information could be presented in a milder way because more anxious mothers-to-be may get worried.

I want to advise you to do your best to avoid any stress during the pregnancy because it will raise the levels of Adrenalin in your body. This will cause an aggressive/depressive mood swings and higher blood pressure. That's why whenever you read something potentially disturbing in this book take it easy and if there are any complications consult with your health care provider.

Being a sexual therapist as well, I advised my daughter to buy in addition to this book "Scientifically guaranteed male multi-orgasms and ultimate sex" by Alan Ritz. Pregnancy is a tough period for sex no matter how much you strive to be intimate with your husband. That's why he most probably will feel bad or even rejected from the serious decrease in your intimate contacts. Scientist Alan Ritz has made a breakthrough with the discovery of "The VIP Muscle", which generates multiple orgasms in men with or without a partner. That's' why my daughter's husband was very happy and calmed from this book (a proof that she thinks for him). Now she reads "What to expect when you are expecting" while he reads Ritz' book and prepares for "ultimate sex" after the delivery. I recommend both books!

The best gift!

I have raised 54 children (foster parenting) and have several grandchildren and great nieces and nephews. This is the best information I've seen in one book. I have given it to every one of my children when they had their fist born. I don't know of a better gift to give any person who is having a baby.

Excellent book, especially for first time mothers!

I bought this book with my first pregnancy, at age 34!! I had no clue what-so-ever about being pregnant or what kind of things were going to happen to my body. This book gave a very detailed month-by-month account of the changes that were to take place in my body. I also found out that during my pregnancy that I was 'RH-negative.' I really had no idea what this meant, or what type of problems could arise. This book explained in detail about the condition and how the doctor's treat it. It made me feel more assured that I understood about the negativity factor and how it could affect my future children. I am now 42 years old and expecting my third child! This is the third time I will be using this book as a pregnancy guide, and I believe that it has been and will be an asset for me and my husband this time around too!!!
