From the moment she discovers sheâe(tm)s pregnant, every woman becomes obsessed with the life thatâe(tm)s developing inside her. Linda Geddes was no different, except that as a journalist writing for New Scientist, she had access to the most up-to-date scientific research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind headlines and information that didnâe(tm)t patronise or confuse became a weekly column and is now this brilliant book, answering everything youâe(tm)ve ever wondered about having a baby, from the first pregnancy symptoms to birth and through the babyâe(tm)s first year.
