Excellent guide for new parents June 27, 2008
We purchased this book for our daughter who is expecting her first baby. The book is very informative. The pictures are wonderful and really show what is happening with her body and how her baby is forming. The new parents have read the book and refer to it regularly. As a librarian, I purchase parenting books for our collection and found this one to be excellent. I recommend it to expectant parents!
The best pregnancy book May 31, 2008
I bought this book when I was about to become a mother for the first time. I also bought two other books on pregnancy, that are the most recomended. This book is THE BEST BOOK ON PREGNANCY, It is very well organized, it is very informative, it is very descriptiv and ilustrated. In all other books, If you want to read a particular topic, you have to search trough every chapter, but in this one, everything is organized in chapters... One chapter for exercise, one chapter for food, one chapter for sex life, etc. I also like that this book is no very melow, the author gives you the information plain, and you can interpretate them as you want.
This book also gives you a lot of information on what might go wrong in pregnancy, while other books just assume that every pregnancy is perfect, and parents should go to see a doctor just to confirm that. In many cases, that is not true...
Overall....I would recomend this book to every expectant parent!!!!
