By 1995, the book states, 85 percent of mothers will be working either full or part-time. Already one in 13 babies is born to a woman over 30. For career women, the combination of pregnancy and a job may be a battle. One may face hostility from male colleagues, perhaps finding when they return to the office that their job has disappeared. Outside the office, there may be other battles such as creches, nannies and other childminders. One may also face social, medical or family problems. Jill Parkin, chief feature writer for the "Daily Express", offers career and home guidance in this book for the woman who is going to be or already is a mother. Topics featured in the text include the law, where to get information, how to break the news at the office, legal rights, medical information, organizing maternity leave, adapting a job to motherhood and how to cope with changes in lifestyle and relationships.
