any other month. During February 2005, 52% of the pregnant women who joined BabyCenter were in their first
trimester of pregnancy.
According to BabyCenter editor in chief Jim Scott, who will oversee the launch, the magazine will offer completely
original content, with many articles designed to let readers interact with one another and other special tools and
features online. BabyCenter has assembled an all-star team of editors and designers to develop the magazine, led by
publishing veterans Scott and executive editor Nina Martin.
Readers will receive the edition of BabyCenter magazine most closely tailored to their stage of pregnancy or
parenthood at the time they registered for a subscription. The first issue, customized around "Pregnancy 4-6
months", will be published in September 2005. Second issue: "Pregnancy 7-9 months", to be published in
November 2005. Editions to be published during the first quarter of 2006 include "Baby Birth-3 months" and "Baby
4-6 months." Scott said each edition will be updated throughout the year to reflect the latest pregnancy and
parenting news, research, and trends.
