Babies don't automatically know how to sleep through the night; they need to be taught. The Sears family has learned from decades of pediatric practice, bolstered by their own parenting experiences, that different babies have different nighttime temperaments - and, of course, different families have different lifestyles. Instead of espousing the kind of "one method fits all" approach advocated in other baby sleep guides, the Sears family explains how you can create a sleep plan that suits the needs of your entire family.

Have you ever thought about having a baby? Do you want to learn more about the pregnancy process? Are you not quite sure if you are ready to bring a child into the world? Many women dream of having a child. The one thing that is required, though, is not talked about a lot. That’s the actual pregnancy. Those nine months plus period changes a woman and her body, and no two women have the exact same experience. This can be a very scary time, and then the actual labor brings about its own set of fears. Not to worry, though, this audiobook is here to help.

Story
Never before have women been in such a hurry to do so many things and be there for so many people. The pace of modern life has drastically increased - but even though our minds can go faster and technology allows us to get more done, our bodies still have cavewoman-like biology - which means they cannot respond healthily to the new and constant pressures we experience. In this book, nutritional biochemist Dr. Libby Weaver explains how a stressful, fast-paced lifestyle can have dangerous effects on all areas of a woman's health.

There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy-this book's here to help you avoid all (most) of them.

Story
Are you a woman between 35 and 50 experiencing PMS, migraine headaches, sudden weight gain, fatigue, irritability, tender or lumpy breasts, memory loss, fibroids, or cold hands and feet? If so, you may be experiencing symptoms of premenopause. Even if you're a decade or more away from menopause, your hormones may already be out of balance, usually caused by an excess of estrogen and a deficiency of progesterone, say the authors of What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Pre-Menopause.

Not into it
I'm not pregnant. I enjoy researching pregnancy, labor, and delivery in my spare time. It's fun for me so I've read a lot of these books.
This particular book is very bias towards the perfect female form and fairly preachy. They clearly have a mind set early on that you cannot be your own person and have a baby. I wanted more science than that.
I understand that being healthy gives your baby better chances but they talk for ages over the same details without giving advice that equates to more than "get fit".
They say things like "don't wait to have a baby" but tell the reader to get fit like it doesn't take a long time to get fit.
I'm just annoyed with the whole thing. I'm DNF'ing this thing because I don't want to listen to someone harp on and on about how people shouldn't be anything other than thin, they shouldn't take medications, they shouldn't have any mental health problems whatsoever. Like damn, who should be having kids then?
I picked this up so that I could learn more about the various stages of pregnancy from experts. I did not pick this up to be lectured. I'm not into it.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
