Dorling Kindersley is delighted to publish the revised and updated versions of Dr Miriam Stoppard's four baby and childcare manuals; the complete babycare library for a new generation of parents and parents-to-be.

New Pregnancy and Birth

A practical guide for all parents-to-be To be published on the 12th January, price £11.99 in paperback New Pregnancy and Birth is a practical guide to every magical stage of pregnancy, from pre-conception planning, through pregnancy and birth, to the first days of life. With up-to-date advice on fertility treatment, antenatal care, nutrition, exercise and choices in childbirth, New Pregnancy and Birth takes into account all the latest developments in medical research and hospital practices. Unlike most guides to pregnancy, Dr Stoppard's books are aimed at BOTH parents. Fathers now play a larger role in their child's lives than ever before.

  • 94% of fathers are now present at the birth of their child as opposed to 71% in the 1970s .

  • 32% of fathers now share childcare equally with their partner, as opposed to 18% in the 1960s.

New Pregnancy and Birth includes advice for fathers on issues ranging from being a birth partner, to bonding with baby, from bottle feeding to adjusting to fatherhood. There is also a special section for working mothers, which covers everything from benefits, to childcare, to coping with a dual role once the baby is born. The guide also includes a month by month pregnancy calendar showing the baby's development in the womb, and gives practical advice for parents on subjects like booking antenatal classes, healthy eating and medical tests. This not only helps parents to understand whatfs happening throughout pregnancy but also enables them to plan effectively for the birth of their baby.
