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

 Terrible Book July 16, 2008
Pretty much everything has been covered already. This book is horrible and does nothing to help encourage a woman to understand, educate herself, and feel any sense of empowerment in pregnancy or childbirth. It basically reduces the mother to a medical victim and pregnancy into nothing but constant, potential illness.
This is one of the few books I've ever tossed straight into the recycle bin. No passing this book on. It's that awful, really.
 As someone said - too many complication discussed July 15, 2008
This book was a waste. First of all, they delay important information till the end of the book (weeks after 30 talk about nutrition). Then (and this is bad) they would say that your baby's eyes are developing this week and here are things that could go wrong.
How bad is that?!?!?!?
This book is useless! Buy Mayo clinic instead - there if you want to look up complications you can search them at the end of the book, plus it contains much more information - precise to point and usefull.
Negative, Alarmist - will only stress you out! July 9, 2008
All in all, this book is fine. But I cannot recommend it. It is very negative and reads almost like a medical textbook, listing all of the possible things can could go wrong at every stage - without little in the way of comfort. The bulk of each chapter is pretty negative and then at the end there is an attempt at a 'cheery' summary - which, by the time you get there, you really need. Unfortunately, I have put this book down too many times with a furrowed brow - I am not going to even finish reading it. There are plenty of better books out there with the same information - written by a doctor or not!
 The best pregnancy book I've read! July 2, 2008
I have read "what to expect" and the "mayo clinic guide" cover to cover as well as this book and while they are all good and informative "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" is the best in my opinion. My only problem with it is that I think the title is misleading and some people just might read the book a week at a time during their pregnancy but the book will address important information (like avoiding green tea in early pregnancy) in the 25th month when that was something that should have been mentioned in the first week!
 One of my favorite Pregnancy books June 16, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
The good thing about this book, is that it breaks everything down week by week. So you get to learn about your child's development, size, how they look, what's going on with you and then on a week by week basis. No other book seemed to tell me 'It's x weeks, your baby's x is forming right now he/she is x oz and x long approximately, and looks like This'.
On the otherhand there's somewhat random information about various medical issues just scattered around the different weeks. Like Sickle Cell disease, and it mentions this under week 22 I think but it's not like that's something that occurs just then.
On the bright side if you don't have time to read a book cover to cover, this lets you take things a little at a time so it's less overwhelming. But the best part is following the development on a weekly basis instead of on a monthly basis, which is not nearly as exciting.
