Qué puedes esperar cuando estás esperando. Cuarta edición. (What To Expect When You're Expecting, 4th ed.)

Unlike previous editions, the latest translation of What To Expect When You're Expecting, a perennial best seller in English, has a more informal tone, which the title clearly depicts (addressing Spanish-language readers in the informal tú). (Even the mother on the cover is in style with her skinny jeans and boots!) The book covers all aspects of pregnancy with a week-by-week chronicle of fetal growth and development and information on nutrition, exercise, sexuality, prenatal testing, and labor and delivery. It also has practical information for women who work during pregnancy; tips for dealing with pregnancy symptoms, such as nausea and heartburn; and advice about which foods to avoid. There is a chapter for fathers who may also have some pregnancy symptoms, and chapters dealing with multiple births, pregnancy complications, and pregnancy loss. This comprehensive guide covers everything from preconception planning to breast feeding and newborn care. It is easy to read, reasonably priced, and an outstanding addition to consumer health and public library collections. Expectant parents and health professionals serving Spanish speakers will want copies for their personal collections as well; also recommended for bookstores.—Barbara M. Bibel, Oakland P.L., CA
