Synopsis

From the moment she discovers she's pregnant, every woman becomes obsessed with the life that's developing inside her. Linda Geddes was no different, except that as a journalist writing for New Scientist, she had access to the most up-to-date scientific research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind headlines and information that didn't patronise or confuse became a weekly column and is now this brilliant book, answering everything you've ever wondered about having a baby, from the first pregnancy symptoms to birth and through the baby's first year.
