Any weird feelings I had I would run to the book to see what it might be. This book is perfect for first time moms who need to be talked through every step of the way. ( )Did not like this book - neither the info nor the writing style. Try the Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy instead. Every pregnant woman should read this book. There are some scary parts, but mainly contains useful information on almost any concerns you will have during your pregnancy. Pretty clinical, but I think first-time moms should definitely read this one. A must read for all pregnant women and their partners! Provides a ton of useful information on all aspects of pregnancy. I kept it close at hand from the time I found out I was pregnant until I was actually in labor! Answers all the questions you have and some you wouldn't even think to ask! Would recommend to everyone who is expecting! no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0761121323, Paperback)Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from "Should I be taking vitamins?" to "What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?" to "Will I be able to breastfeed?" The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:51 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
