This humorous, practical guide, written by health writer Jane Symons, asks and answers all those questions that expectant mothers worry will shock their physicians and make their friends laugh out loud.

A new, genuinely fresh contribution to the subject, it's designed in a chic, retro style that makes a great gift for mothers-to-be.
