About the Author:

Dr. Ruth Westheimer, world-renowned psychosexual therapist, is the author of fifteen books, including Grandparenthood (Routledge 1998). She lives in New York City. Amos Grunebaum, M.D. is Director of Maternal-Fetal Medicine at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York and Assistant Professor at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons.

From Library Journal:

Westheimer, probably the best-known sex therapist in the world, joins forces with Grunebaum, a respected obstetrician-gynecologist, to present a positive, factual, and modern approach to intimacy and childbirth. Their book is a compendium of sound information for couples as they plan for and experience conception, pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. The doctors explore the physical and emotional developments of each trimester and offer tips on preserving a healthy lifestyleAemotionally and sexually as well as physicallyAduring pregnancy. Dr. Ruth's unique personality is evident, especially in discussions of "good sex" and in the "Ask Dr. Ruth" columns interspersed throughout the narrative. Examples of other issues are designing a birth plan, choosing the right hospital, and dealing with problem pregnancies. Noteworthy because it is written with both parents in mind, this paperback is recommended for individual purchase and consumer health collections.ALinda M.G. Katz, MCP Hahnemann Univ., Philadelphia
