Customer Review: My Favorite!
The Pregnancy Book is by far my favorite pregnancy book. This is the only one I sat down and read chapter by chapter. (I hated What to Expect When You Are Expecting.) This book gives a nice general month-by-month overview of what is going on with you and the baby. Each chapter covers how you may be feeling emotionally and physically, concerns you might have, how the baby is growing, topic of the month (nutrition, childbirth, tests etc.) and a diary section.
I also liked having The Mother of All Pregnancy Books by Ann Douglas as a back-up reference.
While this is a great pregnancy book, you will need another book to cover labor/delivery. The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer is a great reference. It explains all the options/interventions you should know about.
Customer Review: This IS the Book
This was my pregnancy bible. It had all of the information I needed and it wasn’t scary. There are so many horror stories out there to frighten first time moms and so many books with dire advice that is little better than listening to old wives tales. The information in this book is presented in a thoughtful and non-judgemental manner and it really touches on all of the concerns pregnant women face, including working while pregnant and how to ask for pregnancy leave. My only criticism is that I wanted more pictures. I wanted to see more of how my baby was developping each week. That information is in there… just not enough of it to satisfy my insatiable curiosity about the new person I was carrying. Learn More / Buy Now
