The Pregnancy Book “It contains everything I need to know and more!” (Jane Latchem, Bournemouth) “I feel much calmer having read this book.” (Sue Patel, Manchester) “The Pregnancy Book makes all the information easy to understand and interesting.” (Euleen Walker, London) This book contains all you need to help you decide what you will do, how you will cope, and how to get the most from both pregnancy and your new baby. Fully illustrated with photographs, cartoons and helpful diagrams this revised version of The Pregnancy Book explains: ● what you can do to make sure you and your baby stay healthy during pregnancy; ● how the baby develops; ● the stages of labour; and ● how to look after your baby and yourself in the first weeks after birth. This book is full of useful information and advice about all aspects of pregnancy and childbirth.
