The New Zealand Pregnancy Book has been used by thousands of parents since it was first published in 1991. Its ongoing popularity reflectsthe demand for a comprehensive book written expressly for New Zealanders. This new edition offers modern parents and their families a wonderful insight into what pregnancy and childbirth looks like in the twenty -first century.

There are practical sections on everything from exercise and nutrition to baby equipment and nappy-changing, not only for women but also for partners and support people.
