Will make you paranoid

This book doesn't offer anything more than articles on[...] or any other book on pregnancy. Maybe it does... it offers a lot of information on possible complications before, during, and after labor that I started getting stressed out. Reading about the many things that can go wrong with the pregnany isn't exactly what I want to dwell on during this time in my life that I should be feeling very blessed and happy. I had stopped reading it for my well-being.

Wish I had this book years ago!

This book gives so much more information for the pregnant woman to make informed choices throughout pregnancy and birth than any other book out there. It does not push anything upon the reader, but gives the facts, plus the pros and cons to consider. The section on Breastfeeding and formula feeding is very well done. I wish I would have known about this book 7 pregnancies ago!

A Favorite Pregnancy-Related Resource

I love this book. It was required reading for a natural childbirth class I took and I found it to be very informative, comprehensive, fair-balanced, and helpful. I often refer to it as I prepare for natural labor and delivery, and it always contains the answers to my questions. It's well organized and much of the information is cross-referenced throughout the book so it's easy to navigate and find what you're looking for. It's also easy to understand but doesn't dumb things down to the point of being patronizing or uninformative, and it isn't so pro-natural childbirth that it discounts medical science and interventions (as some natural childbirth books tend to do). It's definitely one of my favorite pregnancy books.

With over one million copies in print, this is one of the best-selling books about pregnancy on the market. More complete and up-to-date than any other pregnancy guide, this remarkable book is the "bible" for childbirth educators. Now revised with:

-a greatly expanded treatment of pregnancy tests, complications, and infections

-an expanded list of drugs and medications, plus advice for uses

-a brand-new chapter on creating a detailed birth plan

Called "excellent" by the American Journal of Nursing.
