As you move through every month of pregnancy, learn how your baby is developing, how your body is changing, how to prepare for birth and baby, and the pros and cons of various pregnancy and childbirth-related choices. The first month after birth is also covered, including breastfeeding tips and newborn care.

- What foods, substances, and activities to limit or avoid
- What medications are safe to take
- The range of available diagnostic tests
- What to expect at each prenatal checkup
