"Dr. Marjorie Greenfield draws from her experiences as an obstetrician and working mom, and from more than a hundred interviews with mothers, including factory workers, journalists, technicians, attorneys, and teachers, to create a unique resource for working women. Dr. Greenfield includes checklists for multitasking moms-to-be, helpful illustrations, stories and advice from experienced mothers, and information on everything from planning a pregnancy to balancing life after the baby is born. The Working Woman's Pregnancy Book is an invaluable expert resource that will inform, reassure, and empower any working woman throughout the miraculous journey of her pregnancy."--BOOK JACKET.
