Back in the good ol' days, mothers-to-be visited their obstetricians once a month, did exactly what they were told, and gave birth while heavily sedated or anesthetized. Their partners paced nervously in the waiting room, barred from the inner sanctum of the labor and delivery rooms. Although some expectant parents still stand on the sidelines, more choose to be active players. If you want to be a participant rather than a spectator in the birth of your baby, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePea in a Pod, Third Edition \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eis your playbook. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUp-to-date and complete, \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePea in a Pod \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis a \"one-stop-shopping\" guide that provides a wealth of pertinent, accurate information for expectant parents. With topics that begin with fertilization and continue through pregnancy, childbirth, and baby's first year, this comprehensive work could easily be called \u003ci\u003eAbsolutely Everything You Need to Know About Pregnancy, Birth, Breastfeeding, and the Newborn. \u003c\/i\u003eAfter presenting a general overview of available birthing options and caregiver choices, the book offers a detailed description of conception and fetal development, along with the physical and emotional changes to expect during pregnancy. It provides important nutritional guidelines; exercise plans for the mother-to-be, new mother, and cesarean mother; information on prenatal tests and procedures; and a wealth of hints for the father-to-be, labor partner, and new father. Also included is a variety of effective relaxation techniques and breathing methods to help manage the work of labor. And since every labor is different and may not necessarily go \"by the book,\" labor variations are discussed along with the most common interventions and medications. The final chapters focus on the basics of infant care, detailing such topics as breastfeeding, childhood immunizations, and infant massage. Clear, step-by-step instructions for handling emergencies such as choking are presented, as well as directions for performing infant CPR. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe birth of a baby is one of the most significant events in a parent's lifetime.
