The Single Woman's Guide to a Happy Pregnancy, 2010 Edition

When Mari Gallion, an unmarried tour guide in Alaska, discovered she was pregnant, she immediately made the decision to have the baby. What she never expected was the hypocrisy of the movement that condemns a woman's right to choose while withholding information that could empower single women who had chosen the path of parenthood. In response, Gallion set out to write a guide that offers unconditional assistance to the single pregnant women who have chosen to take the unorthodox path of parenthood.
The Single Woman's Guide to a Happy Pregnancy is Gallion's gift to single mothers-to-be. It is a positive, affirming, and sometimes humorous how-to that covers all the bases: staying positive, getting organized, preventing depression, addressing the issues of child support and custody, and finding the agencies that offer assistance. The author also gives valuable advice about living circumstances, money management, and even what mothers need to acquire before the baby comes. The 2010 Edition features an expanded chapter on child support and custody, as well as including up-to-date information on food and product safety issues.
Unlike many modern pregnancy books, The Single Woman's Guide to a Happy Pregnancy, 2010 Edition is not a book about morning sickness and blotchy skin. Instead, it is about well-being, attaining power through knowledge, and planning ahead.
