The moment she discovers she's pregnant, every woman suddenly has a million questions about the life that's developing inside her. Geddes was no different, except that as a journalist had access to the most up-to-date scientific research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind headlines and information that didn't patronize or confuse is now a discussion of the latest research on every topic that expectant parents encounter, from first pregnancy symptoms to pregnancy diet, the right birth plan, and a baby's first year. Linda Geddes is a London-based magazine journalist.
