A Decent Book For Needed Infomation About Pregnancy

I enjoyed this book a great deal. I found it not only to be on the level of a person who may not know a lot about human physiology, but also for people who may have a background in that area. (So many pregnancy books are patronizing.) I think this book does a great job of explaining how to cope with morning sickness,backaches, and other small ailments associated with pregnancy. We all have little worries about our unborn baby and this book offers information that can help ease the mind. Plus it is nice to be able to walk into the doctor's office armed with some knowledge and knowing what questions to ask. A confident woman can have a confident labor when she knows what is going on.

Overall a good, easy-to-understand for the non-professional.

What I really like about this book is not just that it covers "everything"--well at least everything most people need to know--but that it does so in a way that most people can understand. It makes the pregnancy process seem a lot less threatening than another popular book (that I won't name). This is a book a feel very comfortable recommending to my non-medical friends. Yes there are a few topics that could have been covered in a little more depth, but for a general interest book it really covers all the essential bases and covers them well.

Unfair to chastize book because of Dr. Berk's problems

In response to the reviewer who claims the book isn't good because Dr. Berk has malpractice claims against him, I have 2 things to say. First, Dr. Berk is not the primary author of the book. He writes bits and pieces throughout the book, but a woman wrote most of the book. It includes helpful advice on topics such as when to expect your clothes to feel tight, and what types of maternity clothes you should buy based on your due date. This is helpful information I have not seen elsewhere. Second, I don't know the specifics of these malpractice claims against Dr. Berk, but OB/GYN's have the highest rate of malpractice claims filed, and just because claims have been filed doesn't mean the doctor was provided negligent care. I work in the medical field, and have done research on this topic. Not all of the malpractice suits filed are due to negligence. Some times parents are just seeking compensation for a bad outcome that would have happened regardless of the situation. Don't let the previous reader's comments dissuade you from buying this very informative and helpful book!!

Great for first-time moms-to-be

This book is very easy to read. I really enjoyed the lists and the factoids in the margin, as an aside to the content. As a first-time mom-to-be, the book helped explain what is going on in my body, and even helped with why and what I could do about it. It helped calm a lot of my fears, especially since I have not been to the doctor yet and we have not told any friends or family. I highly recommend it!
