Welcome to Litsy!

Are you expecting mystery, sensuality, wonder, and delight? If you're pregnant, you should be! Pregnancy isn't all about nausea and medical tests; it's also a time of excitement, anticipation, and above all, joy. You don't need to adopt a strict diet, adhere to a demanding exercise regimen, or try to plan the perfect birth. Rather, you can trust your instincts and your body to guide you through the amazing, magical process of pregnancy and childbirth. That's the wise, expert counsel of Tori Kropp, perinatal nurse and founder of a popular childbirth-education program and a website for new parents. In The Joy of Pregnancy, Tori tells you what you need to know - how the baby is developing, how your body is changing, and how to prepare for the baby and the birth - without overwhelming you. She has organized the book month by month, so you can learn as you progress through pregnancy. Also included are Q & As, fun facts, and sections just for Dad. With Tori's help, both of you can enjoy and celebrate this very special season of your lives.
