It read like a textbook: slow, dry, and informative. It was a good enough source for information on what a woman goes through during pregnancy, however, I suspect a good bit of the data is out of date. The Sears strike a good balance between holistic and medical paradigms, although at times I felt it was the irritated obstetrician talking, not the friendly author. This book is probably a great reference to have on hand as one goes through the months of pregnancy, and a good starter, but it's a little too middle-ground for my tastes.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0316779148, Paperback)The Pregnancy Book is an excellent all-in-one guide to pregnancy from William and Martha Sears, creators of the concept of "attachment parenting." Each of the book's chapters represents a month, and deals with physical and emotional changes, describes the growth of the fetus, and discusses common concerns. The authors also focus on nutrition, exercise, information and support for home births and birthing centers, traveling while pregnant, how to avoid episiotomy, and so on. The approach is gentle, thorough, and includes more information than some month-by-month guides, which makes The Pregnancy Book an excellent choice for pregnant couples.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:54 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
