My best friend during my pregnancy' Mariella Frostrup

With 18.5 million copies in print, What to Expect When You're Expecting is read by 93 percent of women who read pregnancy books and was named one of the "most influential books of the past 25 years" by USA Today.

This new edition is packed from cover to cover with essential information, tips, insights, and advice for a new generation of parents.

With the warmth, compassion, and humor for which Heidi Murkoff is known, What to Expect When You're Expecting answers every conceivable question expectant parents could ask, including dozens of new questions based on the ever-changing practices of pregnancy and childbirth and the choices they face.

Advice for partners is fully integrated throughout the book.
