Great Pregnancy Guide-4 1/2 Stars |
This book is a great week by week guide to pregnancy. I thought that it would be so dull that I would just flip through the book and be done in a day. But it's an engaging, fascinating, and an easy read. In spots, it's downright amusing. It's realistic about pregnancy dietary goals (the author accepts that you're going to eat ice cream and chocolate). It's well organized so that you can skip areas that don't interest you or pertain to your situation. There are little colored markers at the end of each page so that you can easily find your week of pregnancy. The book is segmented into trimesters and at the start of each there is an index. There's a glossary in the back. All of this makes for easier navigating.
I deducted a 1/2 of a star because there are only about 7 color photos at the start of the book. Also, some of the information is covered more than once, making sections of the book repetitive. For example, there are two sections on the stages of labor. Many topics were given this same treatment. One in depth segment is enough.
All in all, it's a great book. I especially enjoyed reading about the baby's development from week to week. There's also information on what you can expect to be experiencing week to week. The book ends with a week by week section of what you'll feel like for the 12 weeks after birth. This postpartum section also details your baby's development. It's a wonderful and comprehensive resource for pregnancy info.

My favorite Pregnancy Book |
When I found out I was unexpectedly (but excitedly) pregnant for the first time, I immediately logged onto to Americancivilwar and ordered several books. Even at 30, I was clueless as to what to expect and was not prepared.
Out of all of the books I got, this is by far my favorite. It goes week by week and tells you what to expect, what should/could happens and what to talk to your OBGYN about. Most importantly, it tells you what is normal and what is not. It also goes into detail about prenatal testing and when you should expect different milestones (like feeling the baby move, etc etc) will happen.
Lots of extras, and a great honest approach to pregnancy. I highly recommend to all of my friends and family who are expecting. |

Very helpful |
|
It is a great book, very helpful. It is really explains everything week by week.Your doctor can't tell you everything, because he doesn't have enough time for it. So you don't have to wait your next doctor's appointment to found an answer. It's good to have a book like this at hand. |

I WISH IT HAD MORE PICTURES |
|
I PURCHASED THIS THINKING IT WAS GOING TO HAVE MORE PICTURES TO SHOW MY FOUR YEAR OLD. THE FRONT HAD SOME BUT NOT ALOT. I BOUGHT THIS HOPING THIS WOULD HELP MY FOUR YEAR OLD UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANY OF MY EXPECTING GIRLFRIENDS :O( |
