it was "fine"
This book was a gift from a friend who picked it up at a thrift store for me. I got it early enough in my pregnancy that I was devouring any sort of pregnancy information and fetal development information I could get my hands on. This was by far not my favorite source. I found it sort of preachy...(lots of nagging you about "making every calorie count", etc) and dramatic. Also, I thought it was poorly organized, with different symptoms scattered throughout months as opposed to in one logical place. You had to hunt a lot to find what you wanted. I MUCH preferred The Mayo Clinic's Guide To a Healthy Pregnancy. I typically even turn to the internet before I turn to this book. But, if you find it at Good Will for 99 cents (which you probably can), I'd say go for it and use it as a supplement. It's always good to have another perspective to look through in your spare time.

Must Have
This book is a must have for any new mom... a LOT of it may not pertain to you because it discusses a LOT of complications that you can have during pregnancy. It can make you a little paranoid but you will be very well informed if anything were to go a little differently than planned. Glad I read it!

the CLASSIC reference to your pregnancy
(¤Thank you for reading this review and your votes - either way!¤)
If there is one book that will make your 9 months of pregnancy manageable, you need to get the new 4th edition (completely revised and updated) of "What to expect when you are expecting." The claim on the top of the cover page ("the world's bestselling pregnancy manual") seems a bit embellished, until you get a chance to dive in and use it.

The book is truly built as a manual. Written by a mom, who back in her days of pregnancy did not find any such manual on the market. The book is updated with the latest scientific information, and is very easy to use (thorough index and easy-to-follow page layouts). My wife and I are expecting our first, and every week we read and go through the chapters for the specific month and week. When she recently had two issues come up (related to pregnancy) ... yippy ... this manual had useful information that backed-up what the doctor diagnosed and recommended.

Of course, this manual would not be complete if it only covered the 9 months of pregnancy. There is a chapter on "Before You Conceive" and one on "Postpartum." The Dads are not ignored, as they have their own chapter, and there is also a chapter on complicated pregnancy and one on coping with pregnancy loss. The book is well organized, great diagrams and suggested exercises. All in all, this is a sort of a Bible to the ins and outs of a pregnancy. This book has been very informative and we would suggest it to any expectant couple. Happy experience and delivery.

Book is good, But the price at Amazon was way higher than from outside shops. I had to cancel the order and buy from outside shop for much cheaper and return the book.... I ended up paying the shipping fee unnecessarily.

Book is good and worth buying...

Find Out About The Dangers Associated With Dieting

qweDieting should have sensible basis otherwise it may do nothing but undermine and ruin your health. There are some dangers associated with dieting. Danger 1 - on my own The habit always to rely upon oneself is not the appropriate tactics in dieting. Fattiness like any other diseases should be treated under the strict doctor’s control. Every one is unique and needs certain and specific approach. Someone may be stout but have a good health someone may have few “extra kilos” which will intermix with serious diseases. So you should be completely aware of your current state. Work, life style, surroundings, living conditions and even climate should be taken in account when choosing a diet. Danger 2 - on the buckwheat There are several dieting myths: you should eat meat, you should eat once or twice a day, it’s useful to eat only buckwheat or apple pines for example. Each product is wholesome for sure but only in the combination with other useful products. And if you decided to keep to a “one-side” diet you merely deprive yourself of necessary and vital elements. The greatest problems may cause incredible protein decrease, especially animal protein which can not be substituted by soy or legumes protein. Animal protein is the base for ferments and hormones production. In case you reduce protein consumption the reproductive function gets worse and the blood formula changes. Another danger is the lack of calcium which we usually get of the diary products. This element is absolutely necessary especially for the young organism which bones are still in the process of formation. The variety of food is the main point of the right diet. Remember you may eat everything but with the sense of measure. Fish, vegetables and fruits are irreplaceable products and should “find place” in your diet however. Danger 3 – only diet If you really want to loose weight and not to regain it you’d better thing about dieting and physical loading as separate things but work out the plan of healthy life style. It may include the food we eat, the way we spend our free time, sleep and whatever. The main tendency today is square meals and minimum of physical exercise. The quantity of energy we receive should not exceed the quantity we consume. The simplest recommendations are to eat divisionally – every 3 or 4 hours in little quantities, not to eat before going to bed. Danger 4- food is my best friend The other stumbling block is to compensate stress depression by eating sweets and chocolates. Some times in such situations a person may eat even when he is not hungry. Remember everything is in your own hands.
