We are pleased to announce that Pacific Fertility Center (PFC) received a 5-Star rating and an informational listing in the 2005 parenting publication, Babies by the Bay, 2nd edition by Michelle L. Keene and Stephanie S. Lamarre. This comprehensive parenting resource delves into numerous aspects of pregnancy and parenting, including health care resources, pre- and post-natal fitness, maternity clothes, and parenting organizations, to name a few. Most of the parenting resources included are based in the San Francisco-Bay Area. Nevertheless, the book does provide a framework for identifying available parenting resources…regardless of the locale.

PFC is profiled in the Infertility chapter. (PFC’s 5-star rating is the highest rating an organization can receive.) The profile lists PFC’s physicians and provides center contact information.

Additionally, Babies by the Bay highlights worthwhile infertility support groups such as RESOLVE and SOREI. Valuable background information on infertility is provided as well. For instance, there is a section dedicated to the prevalence of infertility as well as steps for identifying proper treatments—from speaking with an OB/GYN, to assessing doctor credentials, to evaluating infertility clinic success rates.

Babies by the Bay provides tremendous flexibility for the reader. Chapters are organized intuitively, coinciding with the different stages of parenthood. Sections on childbirth are located in the beginning, and are followed by sections on schools, and after school activities.

Given its breadth of information, Babies by the Bay makes a valuable addition to the library of any prospective or new parent in the Bay Area.
