About this product

Product Information

America's pregnancy bible answers all your baby questions. When can I take home a pregnancy test? How can I eat for two if I'm too queasy to eat for one? Can I keep up my spinning classes? Is fish safe to eat? And what's this I hear about soft cheese? Can I work until I deliver? What are my rights on the job? I'm blotchy and broken out--where's the glow? Should we do a gender reveal? What about a 4-D ultrasound? Will I know labor when I feel it? Your pregnancy explained and your pregnant body demystified, head (what to do about those headaches) to feet (why they're so swollen), back (how to stop it from aching) to front (why you can't tell a baby by mom's bump). Filled with must-have information, practical advice, realistic insight, easy-to-use tips, and lots of reassurance, you'll also find the very latest on prenatal screenings, which medications are safe, and the most current birthing options--from water birth to gentle c-sections. Your pregnancy lifestyle gets equal attention, too: eating (including food trends) to coffee drinking, working out (and work) to sex, travel to beauty, skin care, and more. Have pregnancy symptoms? You will--and you'll find solutions for them all. Expecting multiples? There's a chapter for you. Expecting to become a dad? This book has you covered, too.

Great book for the mommy to be!!
I like this book and learned quite a bit while reading it during my pregnancy. I love how practically everything you can think of that is related to being pregnant is covered in this book. It answered so many questions that I had as a first time mom to be. The only negative about this book is that it does not provide very much information about natural childbirth. I was a little disappointed that there was very little mention about having your baby without drugs or unnecessary medical intervention. I know that option is not for everybody, but to be thorough, I feel it should at least have been mentioned. But other than that, this book is excellent!!! Highly recommended!!

Better out there
First, you should understand that I am a physician, my husband is a physician and we have 2 children. Both of the pregnancies occurred during intensive training years and were complicated by hyperemesis for the duration of the pregnancies. My first was a frank breech which led to a C-section and my second was a vaginal delivery. I continue to work full time as a subspecialist and a clinical researcher. I received a copy of this book during my pregnancy with my first child. Even though I was a physician, that didn't mean I had a clue about being pregnant so was eager to read and learn. The description of the development of the baby, my physical changes and what I might be experiencing...they were terrific. It was nice to know that much of what I was going through was normal. But the good ended there. I found much of the rest of the advise to be either patronizing or overly-anxious. This isn't to say that pregnant women shouldn't be careful; however, they are not fragile glass figurines and neither is the baby. Nutrition should be emphasized from the standpoint of keeping a balanced diet, no binging and aiming for a weight gain as recommended by your doctor. The list of foods that a woman shouldn't eat was not even feasible for me. Whatever I could keep down was what I ate. The other tremendous lists of "what not to do" were overwhelming and depressing. If I had tried to follow every supposed guideline I would have been paralyzed by paranoia, and without a whole lot of evidence behind it. Out of frustration I brought my book to my OB, and then to numerous other OB's at the hospital where I work (not all women) and pointed out some of the recommendations and asked for an opinion. Almost universally they felt that they were filled with good intentions but extreme in presentation. As for the books inclination to discount women who A)work through pregnancy and B) return to work after delivery....well, obviously I will have to agree to disagree. Best advise? Find a book with good fetal development information, talk to your doctor...a lot...before limiting, adding or changing anything about how you behave....ask for their advise. Pregnancy should be an enjoyable, exhilarating experience - not one of severe limitations that leave you feeling worried, excluded or guilty.Read full review

For Mothers-To-Be
This book is such a helpful read EVEN IF you are not pregnant yet. If you someday wish to become a mother, this is great for preparing yourself --- in terms of what symptoms to expect, what type of food you can or cannot have, what activities you should avoid doing, how to best deal with little irritations like morning sickness, etc. It's a good survival tool especially for those of us who don't have a lot of friends or family around to reassure you that you're doing fine. It even has diagrams and illustrations of what types of exercises you can do even in the third trimester! It has a section that dispels a lot of myths and old wives' tales. It is extremely informative -- so much so that my husband is reading it as well! I really liked that it was so easy to cross-reference the things I wanted to look up via the list of topics in the back, arranged in alphabetical order. One night I ate sushi by mistake, and I looked it up and it gave me immediate reassurance. The book is very good in terms of addressing concerns from the point of view of a pregnant, paranoid woman. You get the point immediately, no hemming, no hawing, no beating around the bush unlike some medical texts or self-help books. I also loved that it had a list of food you're encouraged to eat, exercises you're allowed to perform, to ease your pregnancy pains. What I also liked about this book is that it reminds you that you're not alone, that no matter how fearful you are of the coming childbirth experience, others have done this before you and that most of your fears are unfounded. This book is definitely worth its weight in gold. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!!Read full review

Know what to Expect
This book is awesome! I'm pregnant with my first baby and there is a world of information about being pregnant out there. Other books tell you too much of "don't do this" but doesn't tell you what you can do. This book gives you ideas for healthy food, what to expect each month out of your changing body, and even what to expect at doctor's visits. Each section starts of with what you can expect out of the new month. It's written answering common questions about pregnancy with lengthy answers to follow. The section about diet is fantastic! I take it with me when I go grocery shopping or develop me list right from the book.There's also a section for Dad-to-be it's not very in depth and I wish they would add on to this section. Overall this book is for every new mom and dad-to-be!

A mom of eleven children and still using this book
Even though I have been around the block a few times with pregnancy, I find this book an invaluable guide to pregnancy and all those pains and/or concerns that go along with your changing body. The chapters are written succinctly and kept short. The book can be easily referenced should a problem arise, or a simple question come along that may seem silly to call your OB about. The information is relevant and practical. Perfect for the first time mother and the eleventh time mother. :-)
