description: The nation's only week-by-week pregnancy guide in an advent-calendar format. Each week, the expectant mother opens one of 40 doors to discover what's happening with herself and her baby. Along the way, she finds out how her baby is growing and developing and also what to expect in her own physical and emotional changes. Each of the advent calendar's "doors" is illustrated with a whimsical baby-related item. The changing profiles of mother and baby appear once a month. Over 300 facts and figures about a normal pregnancy are included, all doctor-approved. The chairman of the OB/Gyn Department at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire edited the calendar. The calendar provides an entertaining way to mark off the 40 weeks of a normal pregnancy, making the long wait for a baby's arrival a lot more fun! At a glance, the mother-to-be can tell how far along she is in her pregnancy by seeing how many more doors to open until the due date. As an added benefit, the back of the calendar has an expectant mother's journal to record important dates, memories and milestones. This unique pregnancy guide is ideal for first-time moms or experienced mothers who want to involve their families in welcoming their new addition. It also makes a delightful gift for newly pregnant friends or co-workers. The calendar is designed to hang on a wall or refrigerator and measures 13 1/2 x 21" opened.
