Publisher's summary

Attention first time mothers: First Time Moms: To Have and to Hold covers trimester three, labor and delivery, and your baby’s first 24 hours. We’ll talk about your baby’s amazing contorting abilities. Yes, it's the most amazing contortionist you’ve seen! Your baby is able to bounce on your bladder, get it's foot lodged in your rib, it's knee poked into your gall bladder, and it's butt pushing into your back all at the same time...yikes. There are also several other topics we’ll explore.

Just a few of them include:

  • What puts a baby at risk of preterm delivery, what you can do about it, and what to do if you go into preterm labor.
  • How to build a birth plan.
  • What to pack for your hospital stay for you and for baby.
  • How to tell the difference between false labor and true labor.
  • We’ll cover the whole labor process.
  • The wonderful time when baby meets mamma!
  • What to expect during the first 24 hours of your baby’s life.

First Time Moms is a must-have for every library! If you’re expecting...you’ll find this series interesting, enjoyable, and full of information. The stories in it will have you going from busting a gut to crying and back again. Join me as I reminisce about my pregnant years and share with you what I’ve learned.

“Sarah S. Keller does a wonderful job laying out the information about pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and labor and delivery in a way that’s engaging, interesting, and comical. You’ll be enthralled from beginning to end!” (Nishoni Harvey)

there is a lot of good info

There is a lot of good info and good advice in every chapter. The author did a good job of making a concise list of tasks for pregnant women. Some of them are important, more fun tasks that you may or may not wish to do. There are also humorous anecdotes included, some of which got me literally laughing out loud.

Extremely interesting

Very informative and covers a vast variety of subjects from what to expect and prepare for in each trimester, tips on combating morning sickness, pictures to take throughout pregnancy, different ways to stay active, the importance of taking care of you and different little ways to do just that, all the way to what to prepare for after birth and life with a baby.
