Thank God I had this book!

Loved loved LOVED this book. Purchased it when we were trying to conceive, and it really helped me understand that what was happening to my body was normal. It reads easily, so I read it front to back, and then used it as a reference when I needed specific information. Highly recommend this book, and am now buying the Parenting Magazine guide to taking care of a newborn!

I am one of the woman in the book

I absolutely LOVE this book, and no it's not just because I'm in it! I am unfortunately in the miscarriage section and since I was interviewed for the book in 96, I had yet another miscarriage. I have now had three miscarriages, but do have a healthy four year old daughter. I remain positive though. I was so excited to get this book home and see where I was in it, but REALLY found out how remarkable this book is. I was amazed with the amount of information on every subject, and will give this book to my sister Laura as soon as she finds out she is expecting. If you just found out your pregnant....this is the ONLY book you'll need! Sharon Heaps

Two Thumbs Up!

Having bought a lot of books during my first pregnancy, this book clearly came out as the 'winner' in all categories. First, it is written in plain and simple english that anyone can easily understand. It is well-organized, so creatively in fact using a real pregnant model in its "four trimesters" chapters also showing the changes in her body each trimester brings. The topics progressively expand to those in which an expectant mom currently faces and the variety of 'new things' she experiences, in that certain time frame. The real-life stories of pregnant mothers, their experiences, challenges and how they've handled their trying ordeals makes any apprehensive and excited expectant mom feel positive and enthusiastic about herself. Also,it is very informative and exhausts all its efforts to do outstanding research. It is medically-sound and contains little or no biases. It even answers questions to old wives tales many infancticipating moms hear lots about. It is the most up-to-date pregnancy book among all I've read. My husband too learned much of what I've went through through this book. My only regret is that its fourth trimester chapter ended too soon.

Helpful for Dad too!

I read sections of the book just ahead of what my wife was going through each week and found them very useful as they covered everything I needed to know. It helped me understand and as a result I became more patient with her. I found the "What if..." and "Is it true..." sections most enlightening as they clarify and debunk alot of the "myths" we in Asian culture believe in. The book is also based on updated medical research and practices. We are delighted to have received this as a gift.

Great week by week book

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to any one who is pregnant. This was my first pregnancy and it walked me threw week by week and I totally felt prepared. I loved know when to expect movements and the heart beat. I felt more prepared when I went to the Dr. and all in all I loved the book
