Countdown to Baby: Answers to the 100 Most Asked Questions about Pregnancy & Child Birth

This book is a wonderful resource for expectant women to have by their bedside. It comes in very handy for those 3AM what-is-going-on-and-is-it-normal questions that you'd like insight into before morning, but don't feel are urgent enough to wake your OB out of a deep sleep to answer (though it also lets you know when you should, in fact, do that!). The book navigates seamlessly between finding out you're expecting and actually delivering the baby --- covering topics ranging from how to select a doctor to oversee your pregnancy to how the baby's health is evaluated post-birth and how soon after delivery you can expect to return to the comfort of your own home. The concise yet informative answers are a welcome relief to women who want the facts --- just the facts --- in short order. I highly recommend this book to any expectant woman who thinks she might have even one question over the next nine months.

I received this book as a gift. It is full of helpful information. All the information is concise and to the point, very easy to understand. I especially like the way each of the 100 questions is listed in the table of contents, so you can easily skim to the topics that interest you most. Highly recommended for moms and dads to be.
