If you are completely happy and carefree about being pregnant, you probably won't be holding this book but will be off painting the nursery and choosing a pram. If you are still reading this, then like many prospective parents there will be questions that you want answers to. Sometimes you will feel that these questions are too silly to bother the doctor or midwife. This book has been built around exactly those questions, asked by friends at parties or parents at the school gates who did not want to bother their doctor or midwife. The book is written with your child at the centre. So, if you do have any questions, what you want to know is 'how will this affect my baby?' and not just now, but also in the long term. The book covers normal and abnormal pregnancies, antenatal testing, delivery, what to expect from newborn babies, prematurity, neonatal care and other issues such as sleep, immunisations and the crying baby. If you do read this book, the hope is that it will answer your questions clearly, and help to ease any anxiety so that you can enjoy your pregnancy and feel more confident as a new parent. You should get only joy and pleasure from your children.

BABIES. Maybe you're thinking of having one. There might even be one inside you right now, draining nutrients from your system via a tube growing from its midsection. Or maybe you've already got one around the house, somewhere, and you're responsible for its continued survival. You're saddled with a helpless being whom you've agreed to house and feed and love with all your heart for the rest of your life, more or less. Either way, you're confused, you're frightened, and 911 won't take your calls anymore. But don't despair! Let's Panic About Babies! is here to hold your hand and answer some important, age-old baby-related questions, including: - How can I be sure I'm pregnant? (Torso swells gradually until baby falls into underpants.) - Did I just pee myself? (Yes.) - What happens if I have sex during my pregnancy? (Your baby will be born with a full, lush beard.) - How can I tell if I've chosen the wrong pediatrician? (He/she can't pronounce "stethoscope.") - How do I make sure my baby loves me back? (Voodoo.) From the moment they're created until the day they steal our cars, our babies demand center stage in our lives. So join Alice and Eden as they tell you (and your lucky partner!) exactly what to think and feel and do, from morning sickness to baby's first steps. They know everything!
