This 160-page book is an easy-to-read guide to pregnancy, birth, and care of a newborn. It is written at a fifth-grade reading level and is available in English and Spanish. The format includes large-type headings, plenty of white space, pictures, bulleted sections, and color-coded chapters. The pictures and presentation are targeted to a multicultural audience. The topics covered include getting ready for pregnancy, staying healthy, choices in prenatal and birth care, a month-by-month guide to pregnancy, birth of the baby, and caring for the new baby. There are places throughout where the reader can use checklists, write down diary entries, fill out weights and measurements, and write questions on what they have learned. In addition to the medical aspects of pregnancy, there is a focus on associated feelings and family dynamics. There is a resource section in the back that includes organizations, numbers to call, choices for further reading, and a glossary of terms.
