How to Grow a Baby (and push it out) by Clemmie Hooper

Pregnant and haven't a clue what to expect? Well, Clemmie Hooper's book How to Grow a Baby (and push it out) will tell you everything you want to know but are too embarrassed to ask. 

Chapter by chapter, Clemmie's writing style is fresh, funny, honest and underpinned with non-judgemental sensible tips and advice. 

Everything you will ever need to know about being pregnant is covered, right through to You Got This Mama – a chapter devoted to supporting women as new mums after delivery. 

The author's observations and unrivalled knowledge are unparalleled.

From the moment you find out you are pregnant, the Clemmie, who is a midwife with ten years of NHS experience behind her, will ease your morning sickness with soothing advice and nourishing recipes.

She'll also give you plenty of tips on bra buying and what to expect at your 12 and 20 week scan.

You'll learn how to survive office parties and how to cope when your baby comes home – and how to get through the first time you breastfeed in front of your father-in-law.

And if you're struggling with nursing, Clemmie has a section in the book on support networks and the way forward. 

"Each pregnancy and birth is unique. There are no rules and there isn't always a right or wrong way to do things," the author said.
