Most important book for a pregnant women.most important book for a pregnant woman women

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 4, 2023

I purchased two books hardcover for my best friend who just found out her son‘s wife her daughter-in-law is pregnant for the first time she will be a grandmother at 72. So many pregnancy and baby tips have changed over the years. I felt it was important. She was up-to-date. I bought this book when my daughter was pregnant eight years ago.
My friend was so impressed by the books, that she said she didn’t need any further gifts from me.
The best part, however, I was listening to her, flip through the pages and start reading from each chapter!The best part, however, I was listening to her, flip through the pages and start reading from each chapter

Too much fluff and adlibs for me

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 17, 2023

I bought the book immediately after finding out I was pregnant because it seemed like a good place to get a lot of information about all aspects.

However after reading 10% I find the writing very very frustrating. I can barely read for 10 minutes without wanting to skip around. Like other reviews state, it's very patronizing and boring. The book takes forever to make its point and instead spends pages and pages going into the most agonizing and redundant details. The book takes 3 pages to make one statement and adds in constant jokes or jabs (**always in parentheses**). Actually, I think the author has some MAJOR obsession with parentheses. Every other statement has some pointless adlib that irritates me. The repetition gets very old, I wish the book was less opinion based, more streamlined, and just got to the point.

Also the book has constant random boxes of semi topic related info that are distracting and cut a paragraph off mid sentence. The book can use some organization.

It has some good information but I think a lot of fluff gets in the way.

This book will answer any and all pregnancy questions, including pre-conception, delivery, and postpartum. It's an excellent resource to have around when wondering how a doctor's appointment will go, whether a random symptom is normal, what you should or shouldn't eat, or what to do when you go into labor. A must-have for the childbearing years!

Great book for pregnant or about to be pregnant women!

I bought this book for my daughter who is 38 and expecting her first child. She read every page, thinking that it would prepare her better for childbirth than just talking to people. It worked and she's a happy mom now! However, she had a delivery that was way unusual, it lasted nearly 38 hours....that is not normal but she was prepared to endure more than the normal amount of time. So it's a good book for any mom who just wants to know as much as they can before the big day!

I love these “what to expect” books! I have used them for years, when my kids were little and now as a grandmother. I have also bought them as gifts for other expecting moms. Very informative and easy to read!

Everything!

This book has every bit of information you could need for your pregnancy and covers so many other topics rather than the basic pregnancy questions. It is quite a long read and takes a while before you get to the chapter about your first month of pregnancy.
