Pregnancy Education Series: I'm Pregnant!

I remember being pregnant, I thought I was turning into Tammy Faye Bakker: one second crying, the next, smiling and--sometimes--with running mascara, I did both. Your hormones are totally screwed up, you're up-chucking the kitchen sink and people think you glow--does that sound natural to you? Some of that truly is natural and many of those emotional and physical Kafka-like metamorphoses which occur during the first trimester of pregnancy are covered in The Early Months, the first tape in this three-video set.As the program follows five fictional characters, viewers will learn about "normal" discomforts and ways to ease them, what to expect from the first exam, ways to cope with job and family, and the importance of eating a healthy diet and abstaining from alcohol, smoking and drugs, among other topics. The accompanying full color 180-page paperback is well indexed and easy to read. The other two tapes in the series are The Middle Months and The Later Months. Libraries interested in adding to this fairly fertile subject area will find this a solid addition. Recommended. Aud: C, P. (N. Plympton)
