When I was pregnant with my first child, I was totally lost on everything. We lived so far from everyone in my family, I could only ask for advice over the phone. So I turned to books, What to Expect When you’re expecting was a great guide. I felt like I was learning everything to be prepared for my daughters birth.
Then when my daughter was born it was an extreme challenge, because my husband was deployed to Iraq. I was all on my own raising a baby for a year. What to expect the first year really helped me understand, why she was doing certain things and when to start on solids etc. I felt that I got all the information that I needed.
Then of course I moved on to What to expect the second year, but by that time I had an almost 2-year-old and a baby. It was a great book to help me explain to her, about a new baby in the house.
The great people at What To Expect When Your Expecting is offering A lucky US or Canada reader.

I wish I would have learned more about food allergies and breast feeding! My daughter had and still has a peanut allergy and that’s why breast feeding didn’t work for me. If I would have known I could have avoided peanuts and kept breast feeding.
I wish I had know more about tearing – I had NO idea that that could even HAPPEN!
Also, I wish I had used a midwife with my first.
