How to Use This Book During Your Pregnancy Journey

Many expectant parents read the book cover to cover early in pregnancy, then revisit specific chapters as needed. The month-by-month sections are designed to be read during that month for real-time relevance. The index and glossary allow quick reference for symptoms or tests. Some use the book as a journal, noting questions for their healthcare provider. It also serves as a conversation starter with partners and doulas.
