Features: This is an extraordinary "calendar" with a novel and scientific design, rich content, and strong readability, making it an excellent popular science book for maternal and child health. The editor-in-chief, Professor Dong Yue, and the associate editor, Associate Professor Yang Huixia, are obstetric experts from Peking University Medical College. Both have long been engaged in clinical practice, research, and teaching in obstetrics and gynecology, enjoying high prestige in the field. Based on scientific theory and combined with years of clinical experience in obstetrics and gynecology, the editors organically structure the book, providing necessary knowledge for pregnant and postpartum women at corresponding stages until two months after the baby's birth. Additionally, they leave space for pregnant and postpartum women to record their emotions and physical changes. This arrangement enables them to scientifically understand their own and their baby's daily development, offering progressive guidance for eugenics and postpartum health care. What sets this book apart from general maternal and child health books is its strong emphasis on humanistic care. At different stages of pregnancy and childbirth, it appropriately includes content for emotional regulation and features the two main characters sharing their psychological changes as husbands or wives during pregnancy. This neighborly storytelling style helps alleviate the tension of pregnant and postpartum women, serving as a valuable attempt in popular science literature. This exquisite and unique "calendar" health book is worth reading for families preparing to or already becoming parents. For the child about to be born, it is also undoubtedly a deeply meaningful keepsake.
