Author Description

PREGNANCY, BIRTH & BABY CARE. Pregnancy is a stressful time. Your baby is growing and changing rapidly; and so are you. With Pregnancy Week-by-Week, these anxieties can be put to rest. By following the week-by-week advice of Dr Jane MacDougall, obstetrician, gynaecologist, and mother of four, the journey from conception to birth will be broken down into a series of simple, comprehensible steps. Pregnancy Week-by-Week contains a broad spectrum of advice and information. It educates parents-to-be about the health and nutritional needs of the mother and child, outlines the weekly changes in the size and shape of a prenatal infant, and addresses the common problems experienced by pregnant mothers, such as morning sickness and fatigue. It also acts as an organiser, providing timely reminders about appointments that parents should be making, items they should stock up on and warning signs to watch out for as they move through each stage of pregnancy towards their child's birth.
