Happily pregnant for the first time at 36, Cecelia A. Cancellaro, a freelance writer, found herself craving insights that no pregnancy book or friend could provide. Yearning for the scoop behind the scoop, she decided to go online. In Pregnancy Stories: Real Women Share the Joys, Fears, Thrills, and Anxieties of Pregnancy from Conception to Birth, Cancellaro recounts her intimate, reassuring and informative cyber conversations with hundreds of women about everything having to do with becoming pregnant, being pregnant, giving birth and living with a new baby. In the final chapter, men have their say about pregnancy and being a dad. Agent, Anne Edelstein. ( Apr.)
