I liked it now for my second child; but for a first baby I would recommend something a little more extensive and detailed. It worked well for what I wanted it: just to remember what's going on. (  ) AleAleta | Aug 12, 2007 | I found this book to be helpful when I was pregnant. It was interesting to follow the development of my baby, and know what sort of things to expect as the pregnancy progressed. I think this was my favorite of the pregnancy books that I read. (  ) herebedragons | Feb 2, 2007 | This book should perhaps be subtitled "or everything that can ever go wrong during the course of a pregnancy". I do like the week by week developmental information and diagrams, but I think the author spends a bit too much time on the extremely rare things that can go wrong - especially since this is just a general pregnancy book. I guess that's pretty par for course though for mainstream medical/pregnancy books, which I find quite unfortunate. The book could definitely use a much better treatment for natural childbirth - it is only mentioned in week 40, far too late to take a class, think about it, learn anything more, etc. But, again, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised as this is a very mainstream book.

Amazon.com (ISBN 0738209767, Paperback)When you're pregnant, there is nothing more exciting than keeping up with the drastic changes your body undergoes on a weekly basis. In Your Pregnancy Week by Week, Glade B. Curtis, M.D. (Your Pregnancy Questions and Answers, Your Pregnancy After Thirty) has written a clear, easy to follow guidebook. Each "week" includes information on: How Big Is Your Baby?, How Big Are You?, How Your Baby Is Growing and Developing, Changes in You, How Your Actions Affect Your Baby's Development, You Should Also Know, and a Tip of the Week. With the exception of the You Should Also Know sections (which sometimes focus on rare problems and concerns), the tone of the book is informative, chatty and reassuring. An extensive, excellent glossary adds value. Your Pregnancy Week by Week seems intended to both simplify and expand on the information an inexperienced or first-time mother-to-be receives from her medical provider. It is especially ideal for very young pregnant women seeking to better understand the changes in their bodies. --Ericka Lutz(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:53 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

It is also wonderful to be able to read just a few pages to keep up to date on your developing child when your toddler is begging for attention. (
