Details, Details

I am not yet pregnant, but after reading this book, I feel that I am that much more prepared for that day. This book provides the reader with lots of information regarding pregnancy and offers you lots of questions to consider as part of your pre-pregnancy planning. After reading this book, I have definitely made some decisions for my future pregnancy, such as the type of physician I will use and the type of delivery that I want to have. This book is well worth the price. If you are thinking about getting pregnant, this book is a good place to start to gather information. It provides you with a variety of things to consider before you become pregnant.

Great information

There is not a whole lot of information out there that addresses pre-pregnancy. This book offers detailed information about medications, medical history, fertility, etc in an easy-to-read format. I was most prepared for my pre-conception OB/GYN appointment, knowing the specific questions to ask and even brought the book with me, as it lists the recommended medical tests to have done. After reading the book, I feel much more informed and am ready for the next step.

Both of his books are excellent

I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well as Dr. Sussman's brand new book, The Unofficial Guide to Having A Baby. Dr. Sussman, thank you for writing two excellent books that give prospective parents the facts they need to increase their odds of conceiving quickly and having a healthy baby.

Very Informative!

I found "Before you concieve" to be very informative. It reminded me of the need to be healthy Before getting pregnant, not once you are pregnant. The only down side to this text is that it was printed in the 80s without updated editions, as far as I could find. This made me wonder if all the "precautions" or "dont worry" topics are still true. I found the text to be very easy to read. I read it cover to cover. I would recommend it to any couple considering getting pregnant

Outstanding, very informative and detailed.

I really enjoyed this book and read it constantly while trying to become pregnant, it had alot of information, and answers questions you didn't know to ask. I highly recommend to anyone thinking about becomming pregnant.
