A totally revised and expanded new edition of the best-selling doctor-authored pregnancy book–the only one organized week by week.

Because of the rapid rate of change to both mother and baby, doctors refer to a pregnancy in increments of weeks, not months or even trimesters; expectant mothers look for changes and compare the details of their pregnancies based on the same weekly schedule. The best-selling Your Pregnancy Week by Week doles out focused information in this medically appropriate way, making it the most mom-recommended pregnancy guide on the market.

Now carefully brought up-to-date, this expanded Fifth Edition will also be the most medically current and comprehensive pregnancy guide available. Always reliable and now re-designed to be even more accessible, weekly chapters include illustrations, descriptions of baby’s growth and developmental milestones, information about a mother’s average weight gain and what she might be feeling or becoming aware of, and the medical testing that corresponds to the week in question. New features include:
* Information on cutting edge obstetric technologies-from 3D ultrasound to pre-natal genetic testing
* The very latest diet, nutritional and fitness recommendations for expectant mothers
* A new chapter devoted to overdue (post-term) pregnancies
* An expanded 15-page glossary of pregnancy and childbirth terms
* A handy Due Date Prediction Calendar
Customer Review: An excellent book for pregnant couples
My wife and I receieved this book as a gift when we announced her pregnancy. It is by far our favorite pregnancy book. The week-by-week format is perfect for following along with your progress and also makes it nice to read together. There are even helpful hints for dads along the way.

My wife found that the book answered her questions and concerns as they arose. Should I be feeling the baby move? When does morning sickness start? Is my weight gain normal? The timing of when this book discusses what is happening to a pregnant woman is good.

What we like best about this book is that the information is up-to-date and, unlike MANY of the pregnancy books out there, it isn’t just filled with negativity. Yes, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and there are things you need to know. But, this book presents that information in a positive manner and doesn’t go overboard. There is much about pregnancy that is positive and this book celebrates that and is reassuring. But, it isn’t purely platitudes. It also gives you information to help you when you prepare to see the doctor. That balance, we have found, is very rare in pregnancy books.
Customer Review: Enjoyed This Book!
When I was pregnant my first time, I carried this around everywhere! I was hungry for knowledge and this seemed to be the only book that I could refer to more frequently than just the month-to-month! I had wished that there was a day-to-day book, but this came very close to providing me with new information as frequently as possible. It is a staple of the pregnancy book diet!
