How to Have a Calm Pregnancy in the Age of Too Much Information

2019 National Parenting Product Award (NAPPA) Winner Finally, a calming pregnancy book that cuts through the noise to tell expectant mothers exactly what they need to know-and what they can stop obsessing about and over-researching. In The New Rules of Pregnancy, two leading OB-GYNs guide you, the modern pregnant woman, through all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest, compassionate, and motivating way. Instead of a detailed week-by-week look at your baby's development, it's all about you, and how to help your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible. It assumes an intelligent, busy reader (who, somewhere inside, is shouting, "Just tell me what to do!"). Every aspect of pregnant life is covered-from the practical details (how to fly pregnant) to the complex issues ("What makes it postpartum depression?"). The book also covers that critical "fourth trimester"-"Nursing" and "How to Feel Like Yourself Again"-because once the baby is born, self-care typically goes out the window, and you really need someone to have your back. Its strong point of view and expertise come from gynecologist Adrienne Simone and obstetrician Jaqueline Worth-two renowned New York doctors dedicated to bringing patients the safest, calmest, least invasive pregnancies possible. The book's voice-motivating, supportive, real-comes from Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules. A modern guide to pregnancy that distills medical expertise into short but deep doses of actionable advice, covering the entire pregnancy and "fourth trimester," by two renowned NYC doctors and with the calm, supportive voice of Danielle Claro, coauthor of The New Health Rules. Adrienne L. Simone, MD, is a renowned New York City OB-GYN. Her compassionate, holistic approach to women's health care blends traditional Western medicine with current integrative medicine.

Dr. Simone has been in private practice in Manhattan for more than twenty years. Jaqueline Worth, MD, graduated from Bryn Mawr College and Columbia University's College of Physicians and Surgeons. She has been an obstetrician for nearly twenty years and has delivered thousands of babies. Her practice, Village Obstetrics, is dedicated to working with women to achieve a safe birth that meets their individual needs. She lives in New York City with her family but spends most of her time delivering babies at Mount Sinai Hospital. Danielle Claro is coauthor of The New Health Rules, a New York Times bestselling wellness book written with Dr. Frank Lipman. She's the former deputy editor of Real Simple and was founding editor in chief of Breathe magazine. She lives with her family in the Lower Hudson Valley. "The smart, supportive book that'll help you stop the 3 a.m. Googling. . . . [U]nlike all those hours spent scrolling through mommy forums, this advice comes from a place of compassion and from actual experts." -PureWow "In this tribute to and celebration of moms to be, two leading OB-GYNs cover all aspects of pregnant life in an easy-to-digest and compassionate way." -L.A. Parent "An easy to use reference book. . . . The clear message from this book is that your body knows what it is doing, and this book is assisting you during this process. This is a refreshing perspective, and aims to increase confidence in women during this potentially stressful and anxious time. With the information being delivered in bite-size chunks this assists in reducing the feeling of 'information overload' which can occur when reading a guide book." -Nursing Times "I felt calmer just paging through The New Rules of Pregnancy. . . .
