The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birth

Having delivered more than 10,000 babies combined, this team has seen it all! Drs. Bohn, Hill, and Park witness the thrills of pregnancy every day--but they've also seen far too many women struggle, not necessarily because of high-risk medical factors but instead from a lack of accurate information. Some of these half-truths and old wives' tales are even perpetuated on the pages of the most trusted pregnancy guides on the market. The Mommy Docs' Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy and Birthis packed with the most up-to-date, relevant, and thoroughly researched advice filtered through the authors' daily lives as dedicated ob/gyn's and mothers. Written in a clear and friendly style, each chapter includes sections devoted to frequently asked questions (Can I deliver naturally if I've had a C-section in the past?) and oft-repeated myths (If my belly is shaped this way, won't I be having a boy?). Trimester by trimester, from before conception to after delivery, this extraordinarily comprehensive and reassuring guide provides everything a modern woman needs to know for a healthy, happy, and stress-free pregnancy.

Drs. Yvonne Bohn, Allison Hill, and Alane Park are board certified OB/GYNs, who have been in private practice in Los Angeles for more than a decade. They are all also moms.
