This useful book gives sound, straightforward advice about prenatal
care, analyzing and diagnosing high-risk factors, and describing
the tests, medications, and procedures necessary for a healthy
pregnancy. The authors offer specific ways to cope with the
rollercoaster of emotions and medical issues that arise during this
process. Beginning with a general guide to successful conception,
the book explains the risks and addresses the most pressing
concerns. Throughout the text, the authors check in with the men
and women involved, showing them how to explore their feelings
about the pregnancy, their emotions toward the baby, and how to
build a solid support system. Each chapter contains journaling
exercises, which are extremely important given the amount of
bed-rest required in difficult pregnancies. Here too are informed
discussions of natural birth versus C-section, the use of
antibiotics and painkillers, and how to cope with miscarriages and
premies. "Your High-Risk Pregnancy" is a complete, caring companion
during pregnancy and beyond.
