From the moment she discovers she's pregnant, every woman becomes
obsessed with the life that's developing inside her. Linda Geddes was
no different, except that as a journalist writing for New
Scientist, she had access to the most up-to-date scientific
research. What began as a personal quest to find the truth behind
headlines and information that didn't patronise or confuse became a
weekly column and is now this brilliant new book. Bumpology has
the answers to anything you've ever wondered about having a baby -
from your first pregnancy symptoms to your pregnancy diet, the right
birth plan and the baby's first year - and it is packed with
astonishing nuggets to enliven any post-natal coffee-morning. A
fascinating companion for every expectant mother and father.
