Customer Review: Info is good, photos are little much
The information in the book is very useful. However, a few of the photographs are a little too much for my conservative tastes. For example, do we really need actual photographs of how to make love when we are pregnant, couldn’t we just have a written description? So, like I said, the information is good, but it is not a book I want my children to stumble upon. In the end, I wish I would have chosen another book that also had updated info but without the actual photographs.
Customer Review: Super book
I bought this book long before I got pregnant, even before I got married. Why? I found it very informative flipping through it at my favorite bookstore. And was I glad I bought it when I finally got married and got pregnant.
This book is a must for any pregnant mom. It covers everything, very well illustrated and very easy to read. It’s the bomb, really. I recommend it with all my heart…it’s worth the money Learn More / Buy Now
