It’s a cover-to-cover revision of America’s bestselling guide to getting pregnant, with updated information about genetic screening, ovulation tracking, fertility treatments, and risks like Zika.
What to Expect Before You’re Expecting, with over 250,000 copies in print, has everything that eager-to-be moms and dads need to know about getting pregnant, from getting their bodies ready to make a healthy baby to getting that healthy baby on board faster. You'll find baby-friendly foods to order up (say yes to yams); fertility-busters to avoid (see you later, saturated fat); how to pinpoint ovulation, time baby-making sex, keep on-demand sex sexy, and separate conception fact—it takes the average couple up to 12 months to make a baby—from myth—position matters.
With the latest on health insurance coverage, preconception travel and the Zika virus, sex selection techniques, antidepressants, and information on family-building options for single women and same-sex couples. Plus, for the 1 in 8 couples who experience infertility, the latest on both low-tech and cutting-edge fertility treatments, from medications to IVF and surrogacy. It’s everything you need to know for that baby-making adventure.

    Chicken pox (varicella). If testing shows that you don’t have antibodies or if you’ve never had chicken pox (most women of childbearing age have either had it or been vaccinated against it), it’s recommended that you be immunized against it prepregnancy, at least 1 month before you conceive. But once again, don’t worry if you get pregnant before the waiting period is up.

    ■ HPV (human papillomavirus). If you’re younger than 26, you should be vaccinated against HPV, but you’ll need to finish the full series of 3 shots before trying to conceive. If you become pregnant before completing the full series, you’ll have to resume the shots postpartum.
