Expecting 411 is a must-read for the mom-to-be looking for clear, concise answers to her many questions and wanting honest advice on the healthiest, safest ways to approach pregnancy.”—Lacey Major, editor-in-chief, Pregnancy & Newborn

“Unlike other pregnancy books, Expecting 411 gives moms-to-be the latest medical advice with a lighthearted girlfriend-to-girlfriend tone and accessible format.

“Finally, a book for pregnant women and their families that’s accurate and informative without being stuffy or alarmist: hard to believe it’s written by doctors, but it is—and they’ve done a great job.

“Expecting 411 is today’s guide to pregnancy and childbirth for all women! This book provides all women the great opportunity I have—to constantly ask one of LA’s hottest OB-GYNs a ‘million’ questions (including some we may not feel comfortable to ask). I am one of Michele Milovina’s patients and think she is both brilliant and practical. She is one of us, including her love for shoes (which I bought her when she delivered one of my girls). If I had this book when I was pregnant, it would have cut down on a lot of phone time!”—Jodi Weingarten, mother of three

“Expecting 411 is straightforward, funny, and informative. It’s the perfect pregnancy guide for women in the twenty-first century.”—Rebecca Waldman, attorney, mother of three
