There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisAnnouncing a brand new, cover-to-cover revision of America's pregnancy bible. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's 25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy book--the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with over 14.5 million copies in print. Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new generation of expectant moms--featuring a new look, a fresh perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, the Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food-dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect...only better'., America's pregnancy bible answers all your baby questions. When can I take home a pregnancy test? How can I eat for two if I'm too queasy to eat for one? Can I keep up my spinning classes? Is fish safe to eat? And what's this I hear about soft cheese? Can I work until I deliver? What are my rights on the job? I'm blotchy and broken out--where's the glow? Should we do a gender reveal? What about a 4-D ultrasound? Will I know labor when I feel it? Your pregnancy explained and your pregnant body demystified, head (what to do about those headaches) to feet (why they're so swollen), back (how to stop it from aching) to front (why you can't tell a baby by mom's bump). Filled with must-have information, practical advice, realistic insight, easy-to-use tips, and lots of reassurance, you'll also find the very latest on prenatal screenings, which medications are safe, and the most current birthing options--from water birth to gentle c-sections. Your pregnancy lifestyle gets equal attention, too: eating (including food trends) to coffee drinking, working out (and work) to sex, travel to beauty, skin care, and more. Have pregnancy symptoms? You will--and you'll find solutions for them all. Expecting multiples? There's a chapter for you. Expecting to become a dad? This book has you covered, too., Announcing a brand-new, cover-to-cover revision of America's pregnancy bible. The perennial "New York Times" bestseller and one of "USA Today's" 25 most influential books is a must-have for parents to be.

  • Top critical review

    Book good, shipping system sucks.

    My wife borrowed this book from a friend and our cat damaged it. I tried to purchase this copy for replacement, but it got lost in shipping. my wife says the book is good, I have read the chapter for expectant fathers. The fathers chapter is apparently aimed at 18 to 20 year olds, since it is mainly common sense to anyone over a certain age. Overall I think the book is good and I would rated higher, but for my annoyance with ebay's faulty and slow shipping process.

  • Giant book ! It's a good thing

    I didn't expect the book to be as big as out is but it's filled with so many compelling information within every chapter. I found out about out from a blog from another man that was also a first time father once upon a time, aren't we all . Very very great book highly recommended . Thank you 🤗

  • Content not so interesting :(

    What to expect the first year was very good, this one not as good as the other one, e.g. some chapters are repeated!!

  • A must read for all first time parents

    With my Grand-daughter expecting her first baby, she is full of questions. I am not able to be with her (I live 5 states away) but she calls me all the time. This book was a good resource for her during this new experience in her life. Thank you Heidi Murkoff for sharing this knowledge with the world. Grams.
