 Lots of useful information but not the most uplifting book. July 7, 2008
I find this book to be a good resource but certainly not the most inspiring. It is scary to ready up on every last potentially negative thing that could happen during a pregnancy. My guess is that many people who read this won't have most of these problems but for those who have them or need to be made aware of them because of their risk factors, it's nice to see a comprehensive guide to provide some basic information. Anyone who relies just upon one source, written or a health professional is deeply misguided. I've yet to find that one perfect book for pregnancy. Pregnant women and their partners need to be responsible for their own health care and consult as many reliable sources of information as possible to make informed decisions for thier individual situation.
Good information July 4, 2008
Informative and interesting to read. I'm really glad I got the most recent edition, since there's a lot of good information for all types of pregnant women. All in all, a pretty comprehensive guide.
 Great Book for ALL Mom's to be! July 3, 2008
This is a great book to give as a gift to any Mom-to-be. It has been around for many, many years and I know many women who love this book.
I have given it as gifts and the New mom's love it~! It clarifies so many of the common fears they are facing with their pregnancy, body, and emotions. In addition, the fathers need and do read this as well.
Definitely, a good one for yourself and a gift!

Excellent, well informed, easy to read (for an educated reader) July 1, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am intelligent and well educated and found this book an excellent read. The previous UK edition fully prepared me for the birth of my first child in England and I have just bought this latest US edition in order to read up on the latest research and stay informed during my second pregnancy in the USA. I have tried reading other books, but found them to be too simplistic, or unrealistic. Some even contained advice that I found to be quite selfish, putting the mother before the baby. Even if you are quite a self-centered person before having a baby, pregnancy is a good time to start getting used to making small sacrifices for your children, because the sacrifices get a lot bigger once the baby is born! (I also highly recommend "What to Expect: The First Year", my "baby bible", which is much more informative and realistic than the currently fashionable Gina Ford's rigid methods.)
1st time mom June 30, 2008
I found this book to be very comforting and honest. The authors are straight forward and unbiased. Whether its your first pregnancy or not, its important to have your questions and concerns answered honestly. Theres also some humor that helps ease certian subjects that would otherwise be uncomfortable to talk about. I would recommend this to anyone who is pregnant or thinking about becoming pregnant.
