Fully updated–the book that millions of women and care providers have depended on for the facts about pregnancy. The book offers the latest research information available on nutrition; fetal testing; sexually transmitted diseases; alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs; workplace and household hazards; anesthesia; and more.

It is designed to tell you what you need to know in a concise and easy to understand manner. The book is written from the viewpoint of an obstetrician, so its style is that of a factual medical reference. The book is arranged in an easy-to-use format with space to keep track of prenatal appointments, notes and questions, and any special instructions. The authors together have composed a well written, highly informing book about pregnancy. Both of the authors are highly educated on the subject of pregnancy, therefore in this book they are able to answer any questions an anticipating mother may have during the 9 months of her pregnancy and after the child is born.
