What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
What to Expect When Youre Expecting
Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from "Should I be taking vitamins?" to "What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?" to "Will I be able to breastfeed?" The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.
The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay

OK, but there are better
It has the basics, but is a bit old fashioned and seems to be getting outdated. Very dry reading without much in the way of detailed medical explanations either. Recommend The Mother of All Pregnancy Books for more heartfelt explanations of what...

Unorganized
When my wife got pregnant, this is what she heard was the best book to get. As an avid reader and seeing a volume of "What to Expect" books, I rushed to purchase it. While it helped solve some of our preliminary questions, afterwards it did...

too much negative information
You want to be happy after reading this book but it gives you so much information and is quite negative meaning the book scares you more.

Don't read it cover to cover
Since this is considered to be one of the "must-have" books during pregnancy, I received a copy, pretty much to find what I expected...pages and pages of things to make you think that, at any moment, something could be seriously wrong with your...

Cool drawing, decent reference
Honestly my favorite part of the book is the drawing of the pregnant lady. It's cool to compare the changes in your body!

Warning: this book will make you paranoid & scared
This book has not been very helpful to me at all... in fact, it made me very paranoid and scared to death of everything!!! I understand the importance of being well-educated in order to have the best possible pregnancy and birth, but instead of...

Not a Parenting Bible...
This book has it's place. It's a quick reference guide and has everything imaginable in it. If used with a good dose of perspective and not read cover-to-cover over and over then you should be fine. This book should be balanced with a good...

Worst book I read for pregnancy
This book is great to put you in state of panic - whether it's about everything you could be doing "wrong" (even when you're doing everything "right") or about your soon-to-be-terrible new lifestyle with baby. When I was pregnant, I had a natural...

Worst expecting book I have ever read
So tell me something good about being pregnant. You won't find one good thing about being pregnant in this book. Pregnant women who read this book are the ones you hear the horror stories from their spouses about how blubbery, paranoid, and...

A little too emotional
After reading this book and several others, I really think this book tries to be too 'touchy-feely' rather than give just hard facts. Maybe it is just me, but I'm more interested in science and fact rather than emotion when it comes to pregnancy....
