This book includes food fun,,home remedies,exercises,to pregnancy sex. No stone is left unturned when it comes to your questions. Ms. lenkert realizes that every woman will have a different experience, and each may rely on different tools to help make her experience a positive one.

The techniques defined in this book are both common sense and medical, and readily available. They are described as how-to methods, along with the explanation of why they work.

While this book seems to be a natural read for any pregnant woman, it is also a very useful tool for anyone intending to support or educate laboring families. Dads and other partners included. This book provides many techniques and charts, and it is a a great to handy pocket book for use in labor for the dads and other labor support professionals. show less

a lot of useless information (within the total of 754 pages): This is the kind of book which asks to be read for hours and hours AND then you go on double check on the internet. E.g. the list of hotels in Santa Cruz refers to the type of traveler who loves to spend more than $250 per night - tripadvisor.com offers a different picture...

While planning a tour I'm looking for a tour guide which gives me distances on the map, smaller maps with an overview about an area or town (not only for SF show more or Yosemite) and more background information than the frequent use of adjectives ("breathtaking" "the world's most spectacular").

There is a lot in this book BUT... show less
