Details
Synopsis
Assisted by one of America's leading obstetricians, attachment parenting gurus William and Martha Sears present a helpful, detailed guide to the nine months of pregnancy. Each month has a chapter devoted to it that includes sections on "How You May Feel Emotionally" and "How You May Feel Physically," as well as the growth of the baby, concerns, and a diary section. From several tips on easing morning sickness to information on unexpected skin changes to ways to cope with bed rest, there's a wealth of knowledge here. Accompanied by B&W illustrations, a glossary, and appendixes about treatment of illness, resources, and emergency delivery. Other books by the authors include THE BABY BOOK and THE BIRTH BOOK.

Industry Reviews
The Searses, popular childcare experts and authors (e.g., Parenting the Fussy Baby and High-Need Child, LJ 8/96), have teamed up with obstetrician Holt to give us this work. Using a month-by-month format with nice illustrations that show normal fetal development, they discuss a wide range of pregnancy options without judgmental bias. Scattered throughout are helpful hints and stories from other pregnant mothers that give the book a comfortable feel. Unfortunately, adequate information on possible problems is missing from the text itself, though the preface does note that rare conditions are covered in an appendix (not available for review). A nice supplement to Arlene Eisenberg and Heidi Merkoff's What To Expect When You're Expecting (Workman, 1995. rev. ed.) and The Mayo Clinic Complete Book of Pregnancy & Baby's First Year (LJ 1/95). Given the popularity of the authors, expect requests. KellyJo Houtz Griffin, Auburn, Wash.
