good book by grobb (Pittsburgh, PA) 5 Stars
September 12, 2009
I couldn't put it down. I was reading this from the point of view of wanting to become pregnant. I think this book was very helpful and would recommend it. The only concern I had was the statistics were from 1999.

The one & only book you'll need by MMaybe (Kansas) 5 Stars
September 08, 2009
This is the one & only book that you will need before & during your pregnancy. It is crisp, concise and packed with easy to understand graphs, charts & references about every pregnancy topic. Three things that I referenced time & time again... 1.) The Due Date Calculator, 2.) The Pregnancy Side Effect Chart, organized month-by-month & the accompanying side effect explaination, 3.) A concise month-by-month summary of baby development. This book gives you all the knowledge you need to know without a ton of fluff. It is a quick read, and the way the info is presented, it sticks with you. I found that most pregnancy books on the market are flowerly, sentimental stories and have very little practical knowledge. Althought this book has personal quotes and short stories, it delivers the good to with the knowledge you need to know to get pregnant, what to expect during your pregnancy and practical knowledge for delivery. Highly recommended!

Very Impressed by Lori A. Kevwitch (St. Louis, MO) 5 Stars
July 25, 2009
I bought this book prior to my first pregnancy that unfortunately ended in miscarriage. This book was here with me the whole time. From before concieving to after miscarrying. It lightly goes over everything in pregnancy and doesn't dwell on anything in particular. For example, if you are looking for specifics and an in depth analysis on fertility problems than get a book that deals with that; this book goes over possible fertility problems but it's more of an overview. This book helps answer the basic questions one might have about the ins-and-outs of pregnancy. I still reference this book now trying for baby number 2.

Not very useful by L. Wallace (Milford, NJ) 2 Stars

I did not find this book helpful or very interesting to read. I suggest What to Expect When You're Expecting.
