Book Description
Expectant mothers are virtual magnets for unsolicited advice. Mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, sisters-in-law, new mothers, friends, and even strangers offer what seems to be an endless supply of supposedly authoritative opinions on every aspect of pregnancy: A craving for spicy food denotes a boy. Carrying the baby low denotes a girl. Besides gender predictions, a pregnant woman is also apt to acquire an earful of advice about miscarriage, dietary habits and cravings, hair growth, weight gain, and childbirth. And, of course, everyone wants to touch her belly. In this engaging, humorous, and very informative book, Drs. Shawn A. Tassone and Kathryn Landherr--experienced obstetricians and gynecologists, a husband-and-wife team of physicians, and parents of four children--explore the most common superstitions and myths surrounding pregnancy. From their combined twenty years of work in a clinic, as well as their own parenting experience, the authors review the anecdotes and beliefs, from the slightly unusual to the stranger-than-fiction, and compare them with the scientific evidence. Moving through each stage, from the early weeks of pregnancy to delivery, they examine the legends about diet, gender identification, preterm labor, the umbilical cord, initiating labor, and the size and movement of the fetus. As they detail the scientific perspective on these varied and often amusing beliefs, the authors not only entertain but provide a great deal of practical information, which will ease the fears and anxieties of expectant parents as well as clear up many confusing notions. If you are pregnant, you owe it to yourself to get this book. Better yet, suggest it as the perfect shower gift to all those well-meaning advice givers.

Hands Off My Chopper is book 3 and the finale of the Black Cossacks MC trilogy! I'LL ONLY SAY IT ONCE: KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF MY WIFE. She had no business getting involved with me. But now that she's mine, she's no one else's. And if anyone – her boss, my enemies – think they can take her from me… They are dead wrong. She's the upstairs neighbor, sticking her nose where it didn't belong. I'm a biker king doing whatever I damn well please. She thinks she hates me, but she's wrong. She wants me. She needs me. I just have to make her see it. But she's got no place in this biker life. She's too pure, too innocent. So it's a shame when she throws herself in the middle of the crossfire without even realizing it. I used her, I'll admit it. But I did what I had to do. And if I had to go back, I'd do it over again. Because now that she's had a taste of the wild side, she's gonna be hungry for more. And I'm just the man to give it to her. Over, and over, and over again. She's mine now. So everyone else better stay the hell away.
