What to Expect Series- Review and Giveaway

It all started with a baby…and a book. Heidi Murkoff conceived the idea for What to Expect When You’re Expecting during her first pregnancy, when she couldn’t find answers to her questions or reassurance for her worries in the books she’d turned to for much-needed advice. Determined to write a guide that would help other expectant parents sleep better at night, Heidi delivered the proposal for What to Expect When You’re Expecting just hours before delivering her daughter, Emma.

Dubbed the “pregnancy bible,” the iconic New York Times bestseller is now in its all-new fourth edition, with over 17 million copies in print, and according to USA Today, is read by 93 percent of women who read a pregnancy book. In 2005, Heidi expanded the What to Expect (WTE) brand online with WhatToExpect.com — the interactive, state-of-the-internet companion to the WTE books, and home to a vibrant, vast, yet close-knit community of one million parents.

These books are a must have for any mom! I received copies of What to Expect When You are Expecting, What to Expect the First Year, and What to Expect the Second Year for my review. As a mom of 3 growing girls and a new baby on the way, I found myself referring to any one of these books on a daily basis. If I ever needed more information or had a question the whattoexpect.com site was right at my fingertips. These books and the website have been a lifesaver many a times late at night when I had no one to call or just needed re-assurance that my child was OK. If you know anyone who has young children or a newly expectant Mom these books make a great gift. Also check out the other titles in the What to Expect series including Eating Well When You’re Expecting, or What to Expect Before You’re Expecting (a complete preconception plan). I believe these books are the number one must have on any pregnancy registry!

You can find the entire line of the What to Expect Series for sale on whattoexpect.com
