Aubrey Wade’s My Pregnancy Pocket Guide offers a one-of-a-kind resource for parents-to-be, hot off the press from F.A. Davis Company.
Philadelphia, PA, November 19, 2009: From conception to delivery, Aubrey Wade, RN, MSN, in consultation with Amanda Williams Calhoun, MD, MPH, combines a unique blend of features in her new resource, My Pregnancy Pocket Guide, publishing today by F.A. Davis Company.
Unlike most traditional pregnancy books, My Pregnancy Pocket Guide is small enough to fit in a pocket or purse. It also features colored thumb tabs to help busy parents-to-be easily reference information on the go. Spiral-bound and printed on write-on, wipe-off pages, this compact 3”x5” guide is perfect for jotting down questions and taking notes in the doctor’s office.
“As a first-time expectant mom, I like the idea of having something handy that I can carry around and access quickly,” said Heather Royce of Stamford, Connecticut. “My Pregnancy Pocket Guide provides a quick, high-level overview of the basics without getting mired in the details or in all the possible things that could happen during pregnancy,” she said.
“It’s the ideal resource for moms-to-be and their partners and families,” said Thomas Ciavarella, Senior Acquisitions Editor for F.A. Davis Company, “but it’s also great for students who are struggling with maternity content or health care professionals who want to communicate with patients in lay terms. It’s truly the perfect resource for any setting.”
Among the many features consumers can rely on are tables and checklists such as a “Try Not to Eat” list for foods and a “Do Not Take” list for medications; full-color illustrations of the physical development of mother and baby; diet and fitness facts; coverage of pregnancy-related risk factors, their warning signs, and when to consult medical personnel; and tips on how to prepare for labor and delivery.
My Pregnancy Pocket Guidewill be available in bookstores this month. Additional bonus tools and tips can be found online at http://davisplus.fadavis.com and at www.mypregnancypocketguide.com (coming soon) .
