Here is the most up-to-date and complete information about pregnancy, presented in a unique week-by-week format. A new edition of a favorite, it features more charts, checklists, and boxes, as well as places to fill in information about Mom's medical history, doctor's appointments, weight gain or loss, exercise program, and more..
About the Authors:
Glade B. Curtis, M.D., OB/GYN, is in private practice in Sandy, Utah.
Judith Schuler, M.S., has collaborated with Dr. Curtis on all his books.
"...the author of several best-selling pregnancy guides takes the mother-to-be through her pregnancy step by step, addressing the baby's growth and development, diet and exercise, and important precautions."
This book is a worthy addition in this subject area. Its format, information, and language are both highly accessible and current. As the title states, pregnancy is followed week by week. A chapter is devoted to each week, covering six basic areas: baby size; mother's size; baby's growth and development; changes in the mother; how the mother's behavior affects development; and things ``you should also know.'' A vast range of material is included, making this a bargain for the price. Similar to but more comprehensive (and up to date) than When You're Expecting by Arlene Eisenberg & others (Workman, 1984), this would be an excellent complement to the more recent The Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons Complete Guide to Pregnancy ( LJ 4/15/89).-- Kathleen L. Atwood, Pomfret Sch. Lib., Ct.
