Expecting: Everything You Need to Know about Pregnancy, Labour and Birth

Expecting: Everything You Need to Know about Pregnancy, Labour and Birth

by Daphne Metland (Author), Daphne Metland (Author), Anna McGrail (Author)

Synopsis

Anna and Daphne have combined their many years of experience, producing an interesting and well written book based on fact rather than opinion, covering conception to postnatal. Most expecting mothers will not be seen by the NHS until around 12 weeks of pregnancy, and this book provides the advice and reassurance needed during this time. It also features a 'read your week of pregnancy', which offers mothers the opportunity to monitor symptoms that can indicate different things at different stages of the pregnancy. Issues broached in the book include: conception difficulties, what tests to opt for, how to break the news at work, when to tell an older child, taking your partner to the scan, opting for a caesarean.
