Murkoff collaborated with her mother Arlene Eisenberg, a freelance journalist, and her sister Sandee Hathway, a nurse, when writing the first three editions of the pregnancy guide. History Īuthor Heidi Murkoff cites her own quest for reassuring information during her first pregnancy as being the motivation for developing What to Expect When You're Expecting.
In 2012, What to Expect When You're Expecting was adapted into a film released by Lionsgate. The What to Expect mobile app launched on iOS in 2009 and Android in 2014. According to USA Today, 93 percent of all expectant mothers who read a pregnancy guide read What to Expect When You're Expecting. As of 2021, per the publisher and the author's agent, over 22 million copies were in print in.
The book consistently tops The New York Times Best Seller list in the paperback advice category, is one of USA Today 's "25 Most Influential Books" of the past 25 years and has been described as "the bible of American pregnancy". Its first edition, authored by Murkoff, Arlene Eisenberg, and Sandee Hathaway, was originally published in 1984. It's a fully revised and up-to-date version of the classic that parents have known and trusted for over three decades.What to Expect When You're Expecting is a pregnancy guide, now in its fifth edition, authored by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel and published by Workman Publishing. Chock full of tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. More comprehensive and reassuring than ever, the fifth edition includes help with deciphering the most current lifestyle trends (from juice bars and raw diets to cord blood banking and Mommy wars), as well as information on pregnancy matters physical (fertility treatments, first trimester ultrasounds, and breastfeeding), emotional (advice on postpartum anxiety and paternal PPD), nutritional (whether you're hooked on wheatgrass or caffeine), and social (gender reveals, pregnancy selfies, and social media baby bump-posting).
For the fifth edition, Heidi Murkoff has rewritten and revamped every section of the bestselling pregnancy book of all time, answering dozens of new questions and including new much-requested material, such as info for dad throughout the text, the latest recommendations on what to eat and drink while pregnant, and a brand-new chapter about birth control options postpartum.
