The Pregnancy Power Workbook
By Camilla Bicknell, RNC, MSN, WHNP and James S. Betoni, DOThe 200+ most important questions to ask about your pregnancy
The unique question-and-answer format used in this newly published pregnancy guide changes the way women learn about and experience their pregnancies. According to the lead author, Camilla Bicknell, pregnant women need a learning system that is different from what is available; they need a simple structure that helps them better understand their own pregnancy. The book was written to help pregnant women translate the vast amounts of information out there into practical knowledge.
For some women, the mental fog that comes with pregnancy can make setting learning priorities more difficult. The Pregnancy Power Workbook jump-starts the learning experience. The questions and answers, based on ACOG standards, are simple to understand. They progress in a chronological, step-by-step format. They help women focus their energy on the essentials of their own pregnancy. As a result, they can avoid much of the sensory overload and stress that comes with trying to filter out unnecessary details.
The authors believe that when women seek knowledge and actively participate in their prenatal care, they will become empowered. To help this journey the authors added additional features within the book’s special format:
Prenatal Flow Sheet: Information about every prenatal visit is recorded.
Laboratory Flow Sheet: All lab test results are recorded with an explanation about why the results are important.
Ultrasound Awareness Sheet: The baby’s growth statistics are documented directly from the ultrasound report.
Personal Pregnancy Timeline: Women keep track of the weeks of pregnancy. They no longer feel confused by asking, “How many months pregnant am I?”
