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

A list of things not to do July 21, 2008
While this book is filled with information, it's mainly a list of things not to do when you are pregnant. If you don't care for humor or entertainment in your pregnancy book, then this is the book for you.
 The Horror... July 18, 2008
If you want a book that will turn you into a nervous wreck, this is the one to get. this book will guilt u without need with fear/ skip it.

The best book around.
I read many other ones, including the one provided by the hospital where I took a class and this one has it all.
Great book.
I recomend also the WHAT TO EXPECT THE FIRST YEAR of the baby.
A must own for the pregnant woman June 17, 2008
I actually loaned this book to a pregnant friend and asked to get it back after her pregnancy. 2 years later and 10 requests later, I finally gave up and just bought it again from Amazon.com. I'm pregnant again, and I will NOT be without this very valuable book! It's a gold mine of information, and it was a comfort to have so much information right at my fingertips during my last pregnancy.
At one point, I was having braxton hicks contractions, but because of the book, I knew what they really were so did not waste my time going to the hospital. The book very clearly told me what I was feeling and it was right. I'm not a doctor, and I never would have known about braxton hicks contractions without this book. And so much else! It's the pregnant woman's bible!
It's like having an owner's manual for your pregnant body.
