Nice place to start... by M. Cotton (Orange County, CA)  4 Stars
January 31, 2009
Some really good information. She doesn't go into extreme depths in most topics, but does suggest other places to get that information.
She has very strong and obvious opinions about things such as natural child birth, breast feeding, and circumcision. If your personal values vary from hers those parts of the book can be a little frustrating to read.
Other than that it was a quick, entertaining, informative read. Her laid back tone and quotes from people who have been their keep this book feeling very personal.

So good, straight girls can use it! by F. Mercer (Phoenix, NY United States) 4 Stars
January 25, 2009
I lent this to a friend who was trying to conceive and didn't know what to expect from insemination. I found it useful & so did she! This book covers many issues of conception, pregnancy, and birth. Not a substitute for a more complete pregnancy manual, though. Some of the suggestions are outlandish (eat the placenta?!?!). Some great resources in this book.
