Sharp Objects

Brief Summary Moms-to-be today enjoy quick and easy access to a wealth of information, both on the internet and in magazines, where they can communicate with experts on the same level. This book aims to tap into the needs of this new wave of net-savvy moms and answer all their questions in one place. The six authors are not only health care professionals-an obstetrician, a midwife, a pediatrician, a nutritionist, a fitness expert, and a relationship expert-but each one is also a mom, so has both personal and professional experience of the topics she is writing about, and can present them in a highly accessible way. The authors speak as mom to mom, but what they say is backed by years of experience in their particular capacity in dealing with pregnant women, as well as by their experience at home with their own children. Essential medical information and practical pregnancy know-how are combined with expert advice and insights into every pregnancy topic, from diet, fitness, and sex to prenatal choices and safety at work. This all-encompassing approach gives My Pregnancy a wider breadth and greater range of advice than most other pregnancy books. Expert Q&As, personal experiences, in-depth feature boxes, and even sections on whether the authors followed their own advice add to the personal, caring, reassuring vibe that runs throughout the book.
