Customer Reviews

LOVE IT! Very informative!

I loved this book!!! So much so, that I recommend it to everyone I know who gets pregnant! I went to Barnes and Noble and went through all their pregnancy books, and this was definetly the best! It gives you pictures of what it going inside your body, and goes by chapters for every month. I don't know how to explain it, but I have had 3 kids, and I would STILL buy this book over any others!

THis is the best book yet - Can not recommend this one enough!

This book is great! It's informative, funny, colorful and yet doesn't contradict itself like some of the other more popular and boring books like "What to expect when you are expecting". I have passed this book onto all of my friends and family that have been expecting and they love it too! I buy it as a gift for anyone that I know is pregnant. It's the best book that I have read concerning pregnancy!!

A Celebration of Pregnancy

"There's one thing I can guarantee: The second your baby is born, your relationship takes on new dimensions. You and your partner grow even closer if you take time out, with minimum interruption, to bond with our baby. The first weeks, days, months, perhaps more than any time, are very special indeed - and the bonding you do now with each other and your baby will set the seal for the rest of your life." ~ Miram Stoppard Dr. Miriam Stoppard is one of my favorite authors because she is obsessed with detail. She knows how to collect the information on pregnancy and childcare and how to present it in a lovely way that will encourage you to absorb the details and enjoy the reading process. If you are thinking about getting pregnant or are already finding yourself full of questions about your new pregnancy, this is one of the books I can highly recommend. You will laugh along with the author when reading "Am I pregnant?" You might be asking questions like: Should I keep my pregnancy a secret? How do I deal with unsolicited advice? Doctor or Midwife? Am I too old for this? What happens on the second time around? What should I eat/not eat? How much weight is ok to gain? Can I still work out? Can I still dye my hair? How will my sex life be affected? What is Prenatal testing all about? What is going to happen to my body after the birth? How long should I breastfeed? There is a handy chart to help you figure out when your baby will be due according to your LMP. There are also handy notes about websites, especially the one about the most complete source of baby names on the web. The actual birth section is extensive and it gives you a look into what is actually going to occur, so there are no surprises. The basic contents include: The Exhilarating Early Weeks So You're Going to be a Mother Forty Weeks and Counting Stages of Childbirth The Early Days and Weeks You and Your Baby's Well-Being What I like most about this book is that they say if you are considering getting pregnant between the ages of 35 and 40, you can have a successful pregnancy. A colorful, fun book that will help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy. ~The Rebecca Review

Dads Should Read This Too

I wish this well-written, pertinent fountain of wisdom had been around when my wife was giving birth--so I could have had a better idea of what was going on. Superb marshalling of facts and information to cover every facet of childbirth. Written with style and humor. The artwork--photos and illustrations--makes it a joy to read. I'm making sure my three daughters will each have a copy when their time comes.

Concise,loaded with information, humor

The author did her homework. Most of us approach pregancy with little information that is of importance to what, how and the hard questions that we're naive to ask about. The book answered many that i had, plus. It is beautifully illustrated, filled with wisdom and practical information. thank you
