Informative without being scary

I bought three books and this was by far the best. It gives information in a non-scary way. Comparing it to the other books: The What to Expect Book is great as a reference but not good as a weekly read because it is way too alarmist. What to Expect covers about everything as does the Mayo...

Best pregnancy book for me

I'm 7 months into my first time of pregnancy now. I bought several books and borrowed more from the library. I had this book before I got pregnant. At the time, it looked sort of boring. But as things go further, it turns to be the most useful one for me. Maybe it should not be the only book you...

Awesome reference

Although we lost our 1st baby, I've found this book has answered almost every question or doubt that has crossed my mind. It's not really a book I can sit down and read in it's entirety (I only read up to where we were in our pregnancy as it progressed and looked up specific topics), but it is a...

Great info

My husband and I are thinking about starting family in the coming months and I wanted to know as much as possible before we even delve into this new adventure. I've read to other books that were informative, but this is the one I will go back to and read again when I actually am pregnant, I'd...

Excellent Information

No hype, no drama, no preaching. Just "this is how it is". Pregnancy from a clinical point of view. I love that at each week, the book outlines what is happening to you and what is happening to your baby (or babies). There is information on most topics needed for pregnancy, including managing...

Great reference, much less anxiety provoking.

I am a first-time expectant mommy. I borrowed a few other pregnancy books from some girlfriends when I found out I was pregnant and they all scared the *bleep* out of me - provoking more anxiety than helping with curiosity and questions (What to Expect When Expecting was one of the most anxiety...

THE best!

Can't go wrong with all these positive reviews - this book is THE BEST out there, especially for first time pregnancies. It is a wealth of information and I can't tell you how many times my wife has read about her week in pregnancy and said, "Oh I've felt that"! .. It is also great to reference...

best baby book

I bought this mayo clinic book, a girlfriend's guide to pregnancy and what to expect when you are expecting (which was awful, poorly organized and felt very out of date). This was the best and if I could do it again I would only buy this one book. The organization is very logical. I have not...

Best Pregnancy Book- a must have for the home library!

After discovering I was pregnant for the first time, I jumped online to find a pregnancy guide book as I knew I would have more questions than my brain could contain. I was overwhelmed by the amount of pregnancy guide books out there, and on a whim I selected Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy...

Pregnancy godsend

This book is brilliant, and has been an immense asset to me during my pregnancy. It's the only one I found that contains information for parents with severe Asthma, which I've had all my life-as well as being down with breastfeeding and natural childbirth. It presents all sides of these issues...
