"More readable, more attractive, and more accessible" is how pregnant couples describe the latest edition of this million plus-copy seller! And, of course, it's got all the latest medical information and advice. The new edition is designed to expand the retail market for this authoritative and complete guide.

Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn: The Complete Guide is already one of the bestselling pregnancy books on the market, with more than one million copies in print! Now newly revised and redesigned, this comprehensive, authoritative "bible" provides expectant couples with abundant, valuable information about pregnancy, labor, birth, the postpartum period, and newborn care.

This award-winning book presents the latest research-based information on pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, including:

* New information on complementary-medicine approaches such as acupuncture
* Updated information on interventions during childbirth
* Revised statistics and discussions on cesarean birth and vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)
* New advice on informed decision-making, one of the hottest topics in maternity care today
* Plus much, much more!

The book has been redesigned so it's more accessible and reader-friendly, with more photos, illustrations, and boxed features that allow for important information to be highlighted. Also included in the new design are fun and informative sidebars, such as "Common Q&As" about pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn care; "In Their Own Words," in which parents describe their pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting experiences from their point of view; and "Fact or Fiction?" in which the authors present common misinformation and the facts. New to this edition is an accompanying website, www.PCNGuide.com [http://www.pcnguide.com/], where readers can find additional maternity care information as well as helpful forms and worksheets.

The Complete Guide

Available for the first time in full color, the up-to-date and authoritative pregnancy guide that has sold 1.5 million copies--by recognizing that "one size fits all" doesn't apply to maternity care

Parents love this book because it puts them in control; experts love it because it's based on the latest medical research and recommendations from leading health organizations. Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn provides the information and guidance you need to make informed decisions about having a safe and satisfying pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period--decisions that reflect your preferences, priorities, and values.

Unlike pregnancy guides that can overwhelm and alarm by telling you up front all the things that can possibly go wrong, this book first describes normal, healthy processes, their typical variations, and the usual care practices for monitoring them. Only then does it cover possible complications and the care practices and procedures for resolving them. Throughout, the presentation is crystal-clear, the tone is reassuring, and the voice is empowering. And the language is inclusive, reflecting today's various family configurations such as single-parent families, blended families formed by second marriages, families with gay and lesbian parents, and families formed by open adoption or surrogacy. From sensible nutrition advice to realistic birth plans, from birth doulas when desired to cesareans when needed, from reducing stress during pregnancy to caring for yourself as well as your baby after birth, this pregnancy guide speaks to today's parents-to-be like no other.
