The authors offer specific ways to cope with the rollercoaster of emotions and medical issues that arise during this process. Beginning with a general guide to successful conception, the book explains the risks and addresses the most pressing concerns. Throughout the text, the authors check in with the men and women involved, showing them how to explore their feelings about the pregnancy, their emotions toward the baby, and how to build a solid support system. Each chapter contains journaling exercises, which are extremely important given the amount of bed-rest required in difficult pregnancies. Here too are informed discussions of natural birth versus C-section, the use of antibiotics and painkillers, and how to cope with miscarriages and premies. \u003ci\u003eYour High-Risk Pregnancy\u003c\/i\u003e is a complete, caring companion during pregnancy and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe expertise you need and the support you want - before, during and after a challenging pregnancy \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMore pregnancies are considered high-risk than ever before.
