Johnson has been a practicing OB-GYN (obstetrician gynecologist) for 40 years, helping expectant mothers through the pregnancy process and delivering their babies. In “What They Don’t Tell You About Having a Baby: An Obstetrician’s Unofficial Guide to Preconception, Pregnancy, and Postpartum Life,” she shares what she has learned throughout her career to assist parents and parents-to-be of all ages. This guide covers everything from tips and tricks for a smooth conception, how much caffeine is really okay during pregnancy, how to survive those first several confusing postpartum weeks and everything in between. Dr. Johnson shares the lessons she’s learned from years of experience and includes conversations she’s had with her own patients along with her “Dr. J’s pearls” in an effort to help others. Babies don’t come with an owner’s manual, but “What They Don’t Tell You About Having a Baby” is a great start.

"What follows should not be viewed so much as an official manual for having babies, there are plenty of books that cover this. Rather, it should be looked upon as a compilation of the real conversations I had with my patients and the many lessons I learned along the way as well as with some of my "Dr. J's pearls." The intent is to pass along my observations in hopes that they might be helpful to patients and providers; my version of Dr. Spock's "mind meld" in Star Trek (if you are old enough to know what that means). The book covers preconception, pregnancy and postpartum considerations and "medical stuff.""--
