From the best-selling authors of Your Pregnancy Week by Week, must-have pregnancy information for the 1 in 3 women who will become pregnant after 30. Women who conceive after thirty tend to encounter special circumstances associated with their pregnancies and require information targeted especially to their experience. They are more likely to have more difficulty achieving pregnancy and to undergo more tests after pregnancy is confirmed than women in their twenties. Written by a practicing obstetrician, Your Pregnancy after 30 is the most up-to-date medical resource available for this audience. Topics include achieving pregnancy after thirty, multiple births, managing fatigue, tests for baby and mother, nutrition and weight management, and exercise-all written with the most current medical therapies and recommendations firmly in place. Because women in this age group who become pregnant frequently work outside the home, social matters affecting them are also covered: preparing for a leave of absence from a job, how pregnancy affects your partner, challenges facing the single mother, preparing to return to work, how to investigate childcare options. This comprehensive guide is the only such book that a woman over thirty needs to read during her pregnancy. Author Biography: Glade B. Curtis, M.D., is an obstetrician in private practice in Sandy, Utah, and the best-selling author of Your Pregnancy Week by Week. He lives in Salt Lake City. Judith Schuler has collaborated with Dr. Curtis on all of the popular Your Pregnancy books.

Like other books for fathers-to-be, this book covers some of the more obvious tips that men still seem to need, such as "Be a part of the pregnancy, right from the beginning," or "Be a good listener." If this is the only book that a man reads about having a newborn, he will have all the right bases covered, from healthy nutrition plans (for baby and dad), common discomforts in a woman's pregnancy, coping with labor pains and effective techniques for bonding with your new baby at home.

Where this book really shines, however, is in its presentation of information that isn't always seen as being part of an expectant father's studies, including useful lists of definitions of things such as Braxton-Hicks contractions and Apgar tests, as well as an in-depth look at prenatal tests.

Along the way, the authors feature entertaining but informative sidebars on various pregnancy tests ("My Mother-in-Law Said") and memorable moments from Curtis's experiences in the delivery room.
