If you want the real deal on pregnancy, you've come to the right book! Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park are three top obstetricians who have personally welcomed more than 10,000 babies into the world. But they've been on the other side of the ultrasound too—as mothers themselves, they have each experienced the joys and anxieties of pregnancy firsthand. Morning sickness . . . unexpected contractions . . . midnight feedings . . . even serious complications . . . they've been there! Now they share everything you need to know about this exciting, life-changing journey.
Written in a clear and friendly style, The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth offers the most up-to-date medical guidance.

Can birth control pills cause fertility problems?
When will I start showing?
Which prenatal tests do I really need?
Is my baby getting the right nutrition?
Is it true that I can't touch a cat, eat sushi, or color my hair for nine months?
If I get a cold, is it safe to take medication?
How do I create a birth plan?
What if I go into labor alone?
If I've had a cesarean delivery before, will I need to have one with my next pregnancy?

      Starred review from June 1, 2011

      Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park are OB/GYNs, mothers, stars of the cable reality show Deliver Me, and bloggers at www.mommydocs.com. Writing from their more than 45 years of combined experience and having delivered more than 10,000 babies, they seek to debunk urban legends and old wives' tales. Chapters are arranged from preparing for pregnancy to first, second, and third trimesters; birth; and early days at home. Additional chapters handle complications of early pregnancy, high-risk pregnancies, and "frequently asked questions...and frequently repeated myths." They offer reassurance for a healthy pregnancy even for those with health conditions such as hypertension or diabetes. Throughout, the authors deliver practical tips and emotional support for coping with both complicated and uncomplicated pregnancies as well as the things that can go wrong, such as miscarriages or infertility. Individual stories add a personal dimension to the medical information conveyed. VERDICT A great resource for anyone seeking information on pregnancy, childbirth, and the first weeks after birth.--Jodith Janes, Cleveland Clinic Fdn.
