Bumpin': The Modern Guide to Pregnancy: Navigating the Wild, Weird, and Wonderful Journey From Conception Through Birth and Beyond
Genetic test or no genetic test? Midwife or ob-gyn? Stroller or Baby Bjorn? When it comes to pregnancy, the dizzying array of choices-and conflicting opinions-makes it feel as if there is always something to freak out about.
Enter Leslie Schrock, first-time mother and health tech veteran whose own struggles made her realize how much of motherhood is still shrouded in judgment and confusion. With the frank, funny warmth of a trusted friend, she soothes anxiety with answers.
Bumpin' mixes the latest clinical research with practical advice sourced from doulas, ob-gyns, midwives, therapists, lactation advisors, acupuncturists, and pelvic floor therapists and a dash of personal experience to provide all the information you need without the detail you really don't.
- A trimester-by-trimester overview from conception through the postpartum period
- Common fertility issues and how to manage them
- Coping with pregnancy symptoms (and why they happen)
- Sections just for your partner
- Decisions you'll face, from choosing your care team to prenatal testing and childcare
- Advice for navigating parental leave and returning to work
- Movements and exercises designed to strengthen your pelvic floor
- How to build a good registry and the maternity clothes you really need
