You're having a baby and starting parenthood- the adventure of a lifetime! Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide is a trusty travel guide for this amazing journey, from conception to birth and beyond. Being pregnant can feel like being in a foreign country- people use words you've never heard of, such as effacement, you have to visit new places, like birthing units, and you don't know what to wear or what's safe to eat. Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide has the answers with lists, Top 10 facts and a helpful translation guide for the new experiences and words you'll encounter. It follows the progress of mother and baby month- by-month, making it easy for you to use at all stages of your pregnancy and includes special sections for dads that give tips on what to expect and what's expected of them. Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide is a practical handbag-sized handbook for your journey through pregnancy and birth.
The information in this book is laid out in a fun, eye-catching way, and is much more digestible than other pregnancy books. It does focus a lot on week-by-week development of the fetus, which can be a bit dry. Maybe this is a trend with pregnancy books? I’d like to see a bit more information on what’s going on with MY body, not just the stereotypical “you’re tired and have morning sickness” information that you already know
DK books are colorful and easy to read format. Organized well and a quick read but insightful. I also appreciated the cultural components throughout the book.
