Hey girls,
My sister bought me the 'Pregnancy for dummies' book just after she found out i was pregnant. i just wanted to say that i would really highly recommend this book if anyone is thinking of buying a pregnancy book. it cost about £15 rrp (EDIT: this book can be bought on Amazon for £8.99 new or from £1.89 used) but it really is useful and covers a lot of topics including a detailed section on C-sections (i've heard other people say this is almost never covered in detail in other pregnancy books). here are the topics covered:
Introduction.
Part I: The Game Plan.
Chapter 1: From Here to Maternity.
Chapter 2: I Think Im Pregnant!
Chapter 3: Preparing for Life during Pregnancy.
Chapter 4: Diet and Exercise for the Expectant Mother.
Part II: Pregnancy: A Drama in Three Acts.
Chapter 5: The First Trimester.
Chapter 6: The Second Trimester.
Chapter 7: The Third Trimester.
Chapter 8: Understanding Prenatal Testing.
Part III: The Big Event: Labor, Delivery, and Recovery.
Chapter 9: Honey, I Think Im in Labor!
Chapter 10: Special Delivery: Bringing Your Baby into the World.
Chapter 11: Hello, World! Your Newborn.
Chapter 12: Taking Care of Yourself after Delivery.
Chapter 13: Feeding Your Baby.
Part IV: Special Concerns.
Chapter 14: Pregnancies with Special Considerations.
Chapter 15: When Things Get Complicated.
Chapter 16: Pregnancy in Sickness and in Health.
Chapter 17: Coping with the Unexpected.
Part V: The Part of Tens.
Chapter 18: Ten Things Nobody Tells You.
Chapter 19: Ten (or So) Old Wives Tales.
Chapter 20: Ten Landmarks in Fetal Development.
Chapter 21: Ten Key Things You Can See on Ultrasound.
Appendix: The Pregnant Man: Having a Baby from a Dads Perspective.
Index.
If anyone just wants me to look up info from my book then i'll be more than happy to do so.
