In I’m Pregnant!, Dr. Lesley Regan sets out to give pregnant women the confidence to make their own informed choices. Dr. Regan says “When I was expecting my twins, I remembered feeling both astonished and intimidated by books that seem to suggest that there are right and wrong approaches to pregnancy and childbirth”.
I’m Pregnant! provides clear and detailed knowledge about every stage of the baby’s development and the remarkable adaptations the mother’s body will undergo throughout each week of this most extraordinary journey. Its unique week-by-week format and clear jargon-free text details the changes that occur to the mother both physically and emotionally. Remarkable life-size photos of the embryo and fetus live in utero allow her to follow her baby’s development.
Authoritative yet accessible, this comprehensive book also features self-help and coping strategies for the common complaints during pregnancy that do not require medical intervention, such as sleepless nights, aches and pains, and nausea.
I’m Pregnant! has been fully adapted for Canada to include all the latest Canadian medical practices and guidelines. Dr. Regan’s gentle and reassuring tone alongside her solid expertise as a Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and as the mother of twins result in a unique companion to pregnancy and essential reading for every prospective Canadian parent.
