Publisher Description:
From a nationally recognized medical expert, a book as essential to a woman's emotional health during pregnancy as What to Expect When You're Expecting is to her physical health

As an advocate for women's reproductive health, Dr. Lucy J. Puryear is changing that. In this informative, reassuring book, Dr. Puryear examines the emotional health issues associated with pregnancy and postpartum, providing an indispensable resource for expectant parents and for those who wish to become pregnant.
