Without parenting magazines, the only way to get a colorful view on motherhood is by interviewing a tattooed emergency-room nurse. Avoid asking medical professionals to lift their sleeves thanks to today's Groupon: for $12, you get a one-year subscription (13 issues) to Pregnancy & Newborn magazine (a $37.50 value, tax and shipping included).

Pregnancy & Newborn educates expectant progenitors with in-depth features and bits on the latest fashions and accessories for both the prenatal and pintsize. The magazine's instructive articles use a cheery, conversational tone to dish out stories and practical advice to help nurture parents as they navigate any onslaught of unforeseen circumstances or door-to-door reality-show producers. Feature articles explore prenatal health and the pregnancy lifestyle, as well as myriad affordable baby toys, technology, and travel gear with age-specific advice from the child's conception through his or her first birthday. Pregnancy & Newborn also helps moms-to-be beautify bumps with stylish maternity wear and helps miniature runway crawlers keep tabs on designer onesies and ergonomically friendly binkies.
