Bumpin': The Modern Guide to Pregnancy: Navigating the Wild, Weird, and Wonderful Journey From Conception Through Birth and Beyond
A thoroughly modern guide to pregnancy--from conception through the newborn months and return to work
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.
