Best of the Best

I found this book to be an excellent resource and very refreshing after too many books of dated information. This book is very clearly laid out and is broken into several sections covering, month-to-month "waht to expect," then common problems, a great glossery, nutritional information, etc. Everything is easy to understand and simple to reference on a daily basis. Well done. Choose this over "What to Expect When You're Expecting."

Excellent source for information, especially if you are high-risk

I never even considered "what to expect..."-- I'd flipped through friends' copies, and was never impressed with either the style or the information presented.

During my own pregnancy, which was higher risk to begin with but rapidly turned into a high-risk endeavor, this book was a great source to read up and help me formulate questions for my obs & perinatologists.

I do wish it covered more rare conditions in more detail, but with so much other information, there are bound to have been edits. Also wish there was a source that lets the reader know that after amnio, its NOT unsual to spend the next 2 days in bed. I had to have the test, but they should really prepare the parents better for this particular test.

A good source based on solid obstetrics.

Amazing book for first-time pregnancy

I recently found out that I was 6-weeks pregnant, and my first thought was, "What's the most informative book I can have to guide me through these 9 months?" I blindly stumbled on this book, and I am so relieved! Considering I forgot to ask my friends and family on advice for which books I should purchase and use as my bible, I (thank GOD) didn't buy What to Expect When Expecting, and instead, bought Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. I guess my primary reason of choosing this book is because its written by medical professionals. The last thing I wanted to do was choose a guide that was not written by medical professionals. I want to feel as though I have something to refer to when I can't call my OB at 3am!! Its very well organized, and although I'm only in my first trimester, it helps to view what is to come in my 2nd and 3rd trimesters. The information provided is very clear and for being a first-time mom, I want to know what I should be alarmed and/or concerned about, but I definitely don't want to feel as though I'm becoming completely paranoid about every little thing (I don't need extra help in that category!). I highly recommend this book to anyone who is experiencing their first pregnancy, or even for those who have traveled down this road before.

The best of its kind

This book is fantastic, and the best of its kind in the genre. Very thorough and updated. I would recommend this a hundred times over What to Expect when you're expecting.
