Anna and Daphne have combined their many years of experience, producing an interesting and well written book based on fact rather than opinion, covering conception to postnatal. Most expecting mothers will not be seen by the NHS until around 12 weeks of pregnancy, and this book provides the advice and reassurance needed during this time. It also features a 'read your week of pregnancy', which offers mothers to be the opportunity to monitor symptoms that can indicate different things at different stages of the pregnancy. Issues broached in the book include: conception difficulties, how to break the news at work, when to tell an older child, taking your partner to the scan, opting for a caesarean.

Vendeur : Crappy Old Books, Barry, Royaume-Uni
Etat : Used. Ah, the early 2000s?a time of questionable fashion choices, mobile phones the size of a small cat, and a burgeoning obsession with the miraculous process of growing humans. Enter "Expecting - Everything you Need to Know About Pregnancy, Labour and Birth," a tome that promises to enlighten you on the monumental journey of gestation without throwing in an unnecessary dose of panic. Penned by the illustrious duo Daphne Metland and Anna McGrail, this book is as comforting as a cup of tea, assuming the tea is lukewarm and your mug has a delightful chip on the rim. For those who?ve meandered through the turbulent waters of impending parenthood, this book is like a life raft made of soft cushions and cotton candy?ideal for the well-meaning but utterly bewildered. Written in a style that oscillates between hand-holding and cold hard facts, you might find yourself chuckling nervously as you learn about the nuances of foetal development, labour positions that could double as yoga poses, and birth plans that you may or may not follow depending on how much pain you can endure while simultaneously trying to remember where you left your car keys. One might wonder how a book on pregnancy could be quirky at all, but fret not; this isn?t your average guide. With whimsical illustrations that seem to have leapt from the pages of a children?s book, you might be inspired to decorate the nursery in a similar fashion?because nothing says ?future adult? like a pastel giraffe. The authors, clearly cognizant of the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies pregnancy, sprinkle in humour like confetti at a not-so-well-planned party. The contents are as varied as the cravings of an expectant mother. From nutrition advice that might leave you questioning the validity of that midnight pickle and ice cream binge to labour techniques that range from the practical to the bizarre, Metland and McGrail ensure there?s something for everyone. You might even find yourself wondering if someone with a PhD in cooking would approve of your culinary experiments as you try to balance kale smoothies with good old-fashioned chips. An overview of foetal development that could be mistaken for a nature documentary. Labour tips that may or may not involve chanting and essential oils. Birth stories that are like a box of chocolates?some delightful, some rather nutty. Advice on what to pack for the hospital, likely including a small library of self-help books. Options for post-labour recovery that could inspire your next spa day. Condition: Used, as sold by Crappy Old Books?this volume bears the scars of many a night spent in the hands of a worried parent-to-be. Expect dog-eared pages and suspicious stains that suggest someone was perhaps a bit too enthusiastic about reading during a particularly ravenous midnight snack. But fear not; these imperfections merely add character, much like the wrinkles that will inevitably adorn your brow after weeks of sleepless nights. So, if you?re in the throes of confusion while navigating the labyrinth of pregnancy, labour, and birth, ?Expecting? might just be the companion you didn?t know you needed. With its mélange of facts, whimsy, and the occasional dose of reality, this book doesn?t just prepare you for parenthood; it offers you a window into the chaos, laughter, and occasional absurdity that this new chapter of life promises to unfold. Available now at Crappy Old Books, where the only thing more unpredictable than the contents is the price tag! THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. N° de réf. du vendeur 573
