This would be the 1st book I'd recommend to anyone who finds out they are pregnant. That's exactly how we came to this book - it was recommended to my wife and I upon learning we were going to have a little one in the near future - and it didn't disappoint. Gives you the good, the bad, the ugly, the wonderful and clears up some of the unknown of going thru the ordeal of having your first baby. And it does so in laymen's terms. Make sure to double check with your Doc before taking the book as gospel - one of the meds listed as OK in the book was not ok per our doctor.
