About This Book

Aimed at expectant parents, the work presents practical and moral guidance about conception, pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood, describing the expectant mother's physical changes and emotional experiences alongside the father's perspective; it traces the progression of months, examines prenatal influences and heredity, discusses infant welfare and public-health concerns, and argues for deliberate, informed parenthood. Chapters balance physiological detail, social commentary and practical advice, and appendices provide signs of pregnancy, birth notes, and methods for estimating due dates.
