Pregnancy Book Recommendation

12 August 2006 No Comment

So you’ve bought the magazines but you really need something more official, something that will tell you all the technical bits. I bought only one baby ‘bible’ it was so good it was all I needed. I knew exactly what the doctors and midwives were talking about from the medical jargon, and even recognised the symptoms of pre-eclampsia. It was a constant source of information and reassurance just when I needed it.

“What’s it called?” I hear you shout :)

What to Expect When You’re Expecting
by Heidi E. Murkoff, Arlene Eisenburg & Sandee E. Hathaway

I bought mine from WHSmith for £12.99 but you can buy second-hand copies on eBay for about £5, alternatively try amazon. Either way it’s worth every penny and you can re-sell it afterwards.
