Doctors refer to pregnancy in increments of weeks, not months or trimesters and expectant mothers look for changes and compare the details of their pregnancies based on the same weekly schedule. One of America's bestselling pregnancy books, Your Pregnancy Week by Week provides focused information in this medically appropriate way, which is why it tops the U.S. lists of pregnancy books recommended by mothers. Almost two million copies of this book have already been sold! Now, Your Pregnancy Week by Week is being adapted to make it suitable for the UK market and expectant mothers here will be able to enjoy and benefit from this highly-acclaimed, practical pregnancy book. The new fifth edition is being expanded and brought completely up to date, to reflect all that's new in obstetric practices.
When you're pregnant, there is nothing more exciting than keeping up with the drastic changes your body undergoes on a weekly basis. In Your Pregnancy Week by Week, Glade B. Curtis, M.D. (Your Pregnancy Questions and Answers, Your Pregnancy After Thirty) has written a clear, easy to follow guidebook. Each "week" includes information on: How Big Is Your Baby?, How Big Are You?, How Your Baby Is Growing and Developing, Changes in You, How Your Actions Affect Your Baby's Development, You Should Also Know, and a Tip of the Week. With the exception of the You Should Also Know sections (which sometimes focus on rare problems and concerns), the tone of the book is informative, chatty and reassuring. An extensive, excellent glossary adds value. Your Pregnancy Week by Week seems intended to both simplify and expand on the information an inexperienced or first-time mother-to-be receives from her medical provider. It is especially ideal for very young pregnant women seeking to better understand the changes in their bodies. --Ericka Lutz

Excellent pregnancy reference I have used this book all along through this pregnancy as this is my first one and I am 36 so I am an older mother. It has helped answer all my questions and helped me develop what I need before my OB visits. I think it would be a great book to have for any mom new or old!
do not buy I am very disappointed in this book. The first thing it did is scare me, every week there are only 2 paragraphs that are worth reading and they are tiny, the rest of the descriptions is of all the diseases and complications and problems that a woman can have.
It is also very poorly structured. There is no easy way to refer to anything you've read before. Therefore, a useless book.
great book I am 19 weeks with my first. My insurance company sent me this book as a thanks for participating in their prenatal program. It is informational for each week, but nothing that will scare you into calling your OB. I actually got a second book as a gift...and I have to share it!
If you expecting .....THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.... Hi....This is a fantastic book ....chalked full of information you need to know as your baby grows and your body changes....it keeps you up to date...it goes by weeks , the same way the doctors use , each week you know exactly whats going on....Tips for DAD too..!!!!..I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK...
