This book covers the period from pregnancy to the time when a professional women returns from work after maternity leave, usually when her baby is between three to four months old. There are 12 chapters devoted to specific topics throughout this period.

I recommend you read Chapter 2 first to learn how this book is written and its intended use. Then you can jump to the chapter that is most relevant to you. The chapters are pretty much independent of each other. Chapter 8 and Chapter 10 have more relationship to each other and it would be beneficial to read Chapter 8 first before journeying on to Chapter 10.
