What sets this book apart is its emphasis on the woman's role in managing her pregnancy and childcare. It aims to build on a woman's best instincts with the help of obstetrical and paediatric expert advice, extensive 'to do' and check lists and summary 'if nothing else' boxes. In the first part of the book, My Pregnancy, a woman is encouraged to make the right decisions about nutrition and exercise, maintaining general health and managing her emotions and a changing relationship with her partner. A unique lift-up-and-look pregnancy calendar enables her to keep track of her developing fetus. Extensive information on antenatal tests, pregnancy complications and medical emergencies is also included. The second part of the book, My Baby, encourages new mothers to manage the all-important aspects of daily childcare with separate sections on newborns, older babies and toddlers. There is also coverage of medical complaints and problems and first aid and the normal course of development.
