The impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant / Jean M. Twenge.

"Comforting and intimate, this 'girlfriend' guide to getting pregnant gets to the heart of all the emotional issues around having children--biological pressure, in-law pressures, greater social pressures--to support women who are considering getting pregnant. The Impatient Woman's Guide to Getting Pregnant is a complete guide to getting pregnant--the medical, psychological, social, and sexual aspects, told in a straight-forward, funny, and compassionate manner, like talking to a good friend who's been through it all. Jean Twenge covers everything you'll be wondering about and advises what you can do at home, before getting a doctor involved. Twenge explains how to prepare mentally and physically when thinking about having a child, how to talk about it with family, friends, and your partner, how to know when you're ovulating, and when best to have sex, how to tilt the odds toward having a boy or a girl, how to handle the great sadness of a miscarriage, and what to do when you do get pregnant."--Provided by publisher.
