Publisher: Dr Duncan Birth. A practical, plain-language guide answering the 50 essential questions expectant parents ask but rarely have time to in a consulting-room appointment. Topics covered include labour, vaginal and caesarean birth, pain relief, antenatal tests and scans, common pregnancy concerns, sex during pregnancy, stretch marks, postnatal recovery, and what to expect at each stage. Written for first-time and experienced parents, partners, and patients under Dr Duncan's care or under the care of any obstetrician. In Dr Duncan's words: *"After more than 30 years as an obstetrician and gynaecologist, and over 4,000 deliveries, I've heard the same questions come up again and again — in the consulting room, at the end of appointments, and sometimes not at all, because there simply wasn't time, or it felt too awkward to ask. This book is my attempt to answer them properly, without the time pressure of a clinic slot."* - [Book page on drduncanbirth.co.uk](https://drduncanbirth.co.uk/anything-pregnancy/): Overview, sample contents, and ordering details. - [Buy on Amazon UK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1836889682): Paperback, in stock, £15.00. ## Core service pages - [About Dr Keith Duncan](https://drduncanbirth.co.uk/about/): Full biography, credentials (MD FRCOG), training, clinical interests, and publications. - [Obstetric care](https://drduncanbirth.co.uk/obstetric-care/): Private obstetric care packages at The Portland Hospital.
