Synopsis

America's favorite doctors Michael Roizen and Mehmet Oz cover pregnancy from conception to birth with the ins and outs of nutrition, exercise, hormones, fetal development, and many more pregnancy-related issues.

Few life experiences feature emotional swings as extreme as those of pregnancy—it’s a monumental mix of both intense excitement and skip-a-beat anxiety. How do you respond to such a situation?

If you’re like most, you scour websites, read books, browse blogs, and pick the brains of every friend, family member, and store clerk who’s ever had a baby. You talk about the ups and downs, the cravings and the nausea, the maternity clothes, and the stretch marks. During this 280-day journey, this sometimes-scattered mindset is perfectly natural—and healthy.

Often, though, you need help cutting through the clutter. In YOU: Having a Baby, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen, America’s Doctors, will help ease your tension by teaching you not only about what you can do but also why you should do it.

Using their signature wit and wisdom, they’ll test your knowledge, bust many myths, and reassure you that your maternal instincts are usually pretty darn good. After all, the doctors want the exact same thing as you do during this journey—a healthy baby (and a healthy mom). Be assured that YOU: Having a Baby will be one of your favorite passengers on this wonderful ride.

Goodreads review by Infinite Jen on December 24, 2009

For the remaining 700 or so Facebook friends that don't realize I'm pregnant - I'm pregnant and due in April! That being said, I discovered early that if one goes down the rabbit hole of 4 million blogs, websites, mommyblogs of dubious distinction or ...horrors... that "What to Expect" crap, you're......more

Goodreads review by Cathy on February 10, 2017

As far as baby books go, I say not worth it. Yes, if you read one, you read 100 of them all saying the same things. I just could not get into the 'comedy' that the doctors tried to use to help paint a picture for everyone. I prefer a more straight forward delivery.......more

Goodreads review by Kristin on January 12, 2010

This book had lots of interesting tidbits but I would not buy it for an all in one reference book. It's too disorganized and all over the place. It tended to give lots of scientific facts, which was fun, but the week by week growth during pregnancy, for example, was like only 2-3 pages and very un-d......more

Goodreads review by Travis on January 12, 2017

I listened to the Audible version and it was excellent for me, a newly expecting father who is scientifically minded and knew very little about pregnancy. I typically listen to podcasts at 1.8x speed, and although the authors speak slowly, the density of the info still had me at just 1.4x.......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on September 24, 2022

This book is from 2009 (and perhaps there are updated editions, but my library's was acquired in 2009 so it's contemporary to that period) and... it shows, with the early focus on epigenetics (still relevant, but maybe not the hot topic it was over a decade ago). Thing is, these pop doctors decide t......more
