The Pregnancy Encyclopedia

Pregnancy is one of the most important and most complex experiences of a human life — a process of extraordinary physiological and emotional change that raises hundreds of questions that most expectant parents have never had cause to think about before. DK’s The Pregnancy Encyclopedia answers all of them: what is happening in the mother’s body and the baby’s development at every stage; what symptoms are normal; how to prepare for labour, birth, and the first weeks of newborn care; how nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices affect the pregnancy.

Written by medical professionals and reviewed by obstetricians and midwives, the book combines clinical authority with practical warmth. Week-by-week development charts and clear diagrams make complex biological processes immediately comprehensible.

The essential guide for expectant parents — the book that provides both the knowledge and the reassurance that pregnancy requires. Published by DK.
