“O lucky me to have found Cathryn Curtin, midwife and new mother consultant. Cath
brought to the new edition of Up the Duff thirty years of birthing
experience, commonsense suggestions, an intimate knowledge of new mums, her
caring attitude and her great laugh. For her many hours of work on this updated
volume, I cannot thank her enough.” Kaz Cooke. Up the Duff, revised
edition.
Australia’s top-selling, most respected pregnancy book is now fully revised and expanded. Since it was first published ten years ago Up the Duff has sold a gazillion copies, been reprinted every six months and constantly updated with new medical info.
For this bright new edition Kaz Cooke has badgered a whole new lot of experts who’ve provided all the latest info and made suggestions so that you will have the most up-to-date and reassuring lowdown on pregnancy, birth and coping with your baby.
Up the Duff now begins with a new chapter on how to get ready for pregnancy and includes special stuff for partners (new bloke-friendly bits) and all the latest medical tests; what they are, when and why to have them, and how to understand the results. There’s now a much bigger Help section featuring new chapters on fertility troubles, assisted conception (including IVF), and updated listings of the best services, websites and books on everything for conception, pregnancy and postnatal care.
With its popular week-by-week look at what’s happening to you and the baby, plus Hermoine the Modern Girl’s hilarious pregnancy diary Up the Duff is your real guide to pregnancy – plus what you can eat and drink safely, baby names, dealing with strange advice, labour, pain relief, caesareans, what to do about crying, breastfeeding, getting your baby to sleep, being tired, your feelings, post-baby body-image and sex, and much more.
No bossy boots rules. Just the soundest, sanest, wittiest advice for everything you need to know about the scary parts, the funny parts and your private parts.
