Publisher's Synopsis
This is a guide for future parents to ensure they are in optimum health at the time of conception. Often no thought or preparation is given to it. Questionnaires help both partners assess their lifestyle, diet and state of general health and advice is given about making simple, but significant changes. Issues such as smoking, alcohol and hazards at work are looked at. A question and answer section focuses on myths and old wives' tales, and a glossary explains all the medical terms associated with conception and pregnancy.
