Epilogue

Obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. Jiwon Ryu explains
Everything parents need to know about pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare!

1.
Written by a mother who is an obstetrician and gynecologist with actual experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

Dr. Jiwon Ryu, a mother who has experienced pregnancy and childbirth herself and an obstetrician and gynecologist, provides easy and detailed explanations of the changes in a mother's body after pregnancy, various complications, and other pains that she experienced firsthand and while treating pregnant women in her clinic.
We have carefully covered each and every question that any parent would be curious about, such as how to manage weight during pregnancy, how to prevent gestational diabetes, and how to deal with postpartum depression.


2.
We only introduce stories that have medical basis.

Have you ever heard the saying, "You shouldn't eat pineapple while pregnant?" Many expectant mothers avoid pineapple during pregnancy because they're told it's bad for the baby.
But is there really any medical basis for this? Why do mothers, who are so sensitive about even purchasing a single wet wipe, follow myths and believe in absurd stories about pregnancy and childbirth?
Is it because it's posted online or because a friend did it? The latest edition of "ALL NEW Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Childcare Encyclopedia" thoroughly examines the truth of information circulating on various online communities, drawing on clinical cases and medical evidence related to pregnancy and childbirth.

3.
We help you through all stages of pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare.

Have you ever bought a large, heavy pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting book, only to flip through it once and then immediately put it on the shelf? This book is designed to be read at any time, from preparing for pregnancy through the 40 weeks of pregnancy and postpartum.
The tests you need to take and the things you need to pay attention to in your daily life are different during the second and third months of pregnancy, and the husband's role and the changes in the mother's body are different.
We've packed every month with helpful information.

4.
We've organized it with visual aids to make it as easy to understand as possible.

Changes in a mother's body during pregnancy or childbirth are due to hormonal and other hemodynamic changes.
We have tried to explain these contents in an easy-to-understand way using photos, illustrations, and diagrams.
Learn how to read ultrasound images, measure the length and weight of the fetus, and learn about the actual labor process, fetal growth, and the condition of the pregnant woman's body in a fun way with various visual aids.

5.
We provide comprehensive information on everything from parents' trivial questions to the latest pregnancy and childbirth benefits.

“Does an ultrasound test stress the fetus?” “Does climbing stairs actually help with labor?” “Is it okay to get a perm or dye my hair during pregnancy?” “Can I have sex?” and other common questions asked in the clinic are clearly answered.
In particular, this revised edition includes a number of essential contents for today's times, such as postpartum depression, the father's role in pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, maternal emergencies and coping methods, newborn emergencies and coping methods, and the revised pregnancy and childbirth policy, to ensure that parents' questions are answered.
To support all parents who are working hard for their children, we have taken into consideration the financial circumstances of parents by offering the same price as the first edition nine years ago.
