Overview

Protect Your Pregnancy responds to the fact that every pregnancy is a potentially high-risk pregnancy. Only through education, can women know the signs of and the proper responses to complications of a pregnancy. This book will tackle such tough questions as: Who is at risk for having a premature baby? Why is the birth of multiple children (i.e. twins, triplets) considered 'high-risk'? What pre-existing medical conditions can lead to complications in a pregnancy and how to fight against this? What medical conditions can arise during pregnancy and how to prevent them? What are the physical, emotional, and/or financial ramifications of: bed-rest, medications, multiple births? How to address the concerns of the other family members and friends with regard to a complicated pregnancy? How to understand the neonatal intensive care unit should the baby need hospitalization? Having a child can be an experience filled with anxiety and confusion if one lacks the proper education. Protect Your Pregnancy will empower its readers to know what to expect versus what to worry about, when to laugh at your changing body, as opposed to when to call a doctor. It will offer invaluable information to expectant parents about how best to protect their chances of giving birth to a happy, healthy child.
