Expecting 411

“Expecting 411 was my go to book when I found out I was knocked up. It’s funny, easy to read, and alleviated all my baby anxiety. It’s a must have on your nightstand if you have a little one on the way.”—Kristen Bell “This book was by my bedside the whole time I was pregnant . . . it’s as if your very best girlfriend was a brilliant OB and wrote a book for you.”—Kerry Washington “Expecting 411 answered all of my questions in the most comforting and personal way, even though it was co-written by one of the most brilliant, and not to mention, glamorous OB-GYNs, Dr. Michele Milovina. No woman should go through pregnancy without reading it—even my husband loved it!”—Rachel Zoe “Dr. Brown’s knowledgeable and straightforward counsel makes her an invaluable resource for all things parenting. Expecting 411 is a must-read for the mom-to-be looking for clear, concise answers to her many questions and wanting honest advice on the healthiest, safest ways to approach pregnancy.”—Lacey Major, editor-in-chief, Pregnancy & Newborn “Unlike other pregnancy books, Expecting 411 gives moms-to-be the latest medical advice with a lighthearted girlfriend-to-girlfriend tone and accessible format. Dr. Milovina and Dr. Brown—young moms themselves who offer both an obstetrician’s and a pediatrician’s perspective—answer all the questions that couples might be too embarrassed to ask, and empowers them with comprehensive information in a non-alarmist way.”—Diane Debrovner, former deputy editor-in-chief, Parents magazine “This is an impressive wealth of knowledge in a very readable, up-to-date style. This book answers all your questions clearly and precisely. It probably answers questions you haven’t even thought about yet! I see myself using this as a reference in my role as an advice nurse.”—Nancy Edelman, RN, OB phone triage nurse “Finally, a book for pregnant women and their families that’s accurate and informative without being stuffy or alarmist: hard to believe it’s written by doctors, but it is—and they’ve done a great job. It’s on target and will even make you laugh out loud at times (appropriately, though . . .)!”—Lawrence Platt, MD, FACOG, professor of maternal and fetal medicine, UCLA, obstetrician/gynecologist “Expecting 411 is today’s guide to pregnancy and childbirth for all women! This book provides all women the great opportunity I have—to constantly ask one of LA’s hottest OB-GYNs a ‘million’ questions (including some we may not feel comfortable to ask). I am one of Michele Milovina’s patients and think she is both brilliant and practical. She is one of us, including her love for shoes (which I bought her when she delivered one of my girls). If I had this book when I was pregnant, it would have cut down on a lot of phone time!”—Jodi Weingarten, mother of three “Expecting 411 is straightforward, funny, and informative. It’s the perfect pregnancy guide for women in the twenty-first century.”—Rebecca Waldman, attorney, mother of three
