Getting ready to be a mother
Carolyn Conant Van Blarcom and James Clifton Edgar
Nine months of questions get plain answers from a nurse who delivered the facts for a living. Carolyn Van Blarcom guides expectant mothers from the first signs that a baby is coming through the baby's development before birth, prenatal care and preparations for the day itself. Written by one of America's foremost obstetrical nurses. Calm, competent company for the waiting.
