About this listen
Whether you're pregnant for the first time, are trying to start your family, or already have enough children to start your own basketball team, you're bound to have questions about what it means to be pregnant - and how you can increase your odds of having a healthy and happy pregnancy. But no matter how much you've read, watched, studied, or talked about this amazing biological journey, you have never heard anything like this.
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Roizen and Dr. Mehmet Oz act as mythbusters for the hundreds of questions surrounding pregnancy in the same scientific, informative, and entertaining ways that have made them America's Doctors. Here you'll learn everything you need to know about the miracles of fetal development, your health throughout the pregnancy, and providing the best possible environment for your growing child.

Valerie Wyatt is the queen of gracious living and the arbiter of taste with a successful TV show. Since her long-ago divorce, she’s worked hard to reach the pinnacle of her profession and to create a camera-ready life in her Fifth Avenue penthouse. So why is she so depressed? All the hours with her personal trainer, the careful work of New York’s best hairdressers, cosmetic surgeons, and her own God-given bone structure and great looks can’t fudge the truth or her lies about it: Valerie is turning sixty.

Have you ever thought about having a baby? Do you want to learn more about the pregnancy process? Are you not quite sure if you are ready to bring a child into the world? Many women dream of having a child. The one thing that is required, though, is not talked about a lot. That’s the actual pregnancy. Those nine months plus period changes a woman and her body, and no two women have the exact same experience. This can be a very scary time, and then the actual labor brings about its own set of fears. Not to worry, though, this audiobook is here to help.

French parenting isn't a known thing, like French fashion or French cheese. Even French parents themselves insist they aren't doing anything special.

In 2003, a Roper Organization survey revealed that 33 million Americans may be abductees. Aliens in the Backyard is their story. One evening in 1981, Connie J Cannon was on I-75 with her young son, en route to their new home in Florida, when they suddenly found themselves on a military base, with a man in uniform holding a gun to her head as three Grays stood nearby. In 1979, Diane Fine was on her way from upstate New York to Vermont to see an obstetrics specialist for her high risk pregnancy, and experienced two hours of missing time. When she was finally examined at the clinic, she was told wasn't pregnant.

Great basic information to get you started. I loved how they talked about epigenetics! Didn't totally agree with the nutrition recommendations (low fat dairy?), but everything seemed VERY helpful!

I am 29, and have earned my MA. My husband and I are just a couple of months away from trying to get pregnant. Chapter after chapter, this book told me hundreds of things that I never knew. We both enjoyed listening and will walk away with a lot of knowledge that we didn't know about before listening.

A Good Read if You are Having a Child
This book was well written. I felt like I had a good grasp of what to expect when having a baby just by reading this book. I think the only point I'd like to make is that the book left me a little worried and burdened about giving birth. Maybe I just wasn't ready to hear everything like it is. But I have to say that when I read Jenny McCarthy's book her humor made me lose any fear. Perhaps I just need a little more humor when it comes to something that makes me nervous.

Great medical information
Any additional comments?
Book gives you great information on what is going on medically and what to expect. Dr Oz is greta to listen to but the other guy is kind of annoying. He pronunceates every word and his "L's" sound like "W's". Kinda hard to listen to after a while. It makes it more obvious when they switch back and forth. Dr Oz is genuine and enthusiastic and the other guy is slow, boring and excentuates and gets excited in random spots. Otherwise, great info.
