Pregnancy Week by Week: What to Expect, Eat, and Avoid From Conception to Birth

Why did no one tell me that 'eating for two' could actually hurt us both? That haunting question from a real patient led maternal-fetal medicine specialist Caroline Fitzgerald Park to write the pregnancy guide she wished every expectant parent had. Generic week-by-week apps and one-size-fits-all checklists ignore crucial differences in your body, your genetics, and your life. The result? Unnecessary guilt, missed opportunities, and anxiety that steals the joy of pregnancy. This book gives you the why behind the recommendation — the mechanism, not just the rule. Grounded in evidence from WHO, ACOG, NICE, FOGSI, and RANZCOG, it offers honest, region-aware guidance that adapts to your unique body. You’ll learn: - Why morning sickness may signal a healthy placenta - How to know if you need methylfolate instead of folic acid - The truth about weight gain curves and “eating for two” - When delayed implantation or a negative test at day 28 is perfectly normal - How to filter conflicting advice without panicking - Real stories from women like Priya who navigated these dilemmas With tactical experiments, myth-busting, and clinical reasoning from two decades of experience, this book transforms you from a passive follower of rules into your own evidence-informed advocate. No fear-mongering, no lectures — just the clarity you need to trust your intuition and your care team. Get your copy today and take control of your pregnancy journey with confidence.
