Great Reference Tool!

My husband and I are TTC and had a lot of questions. When he and I plan anything, we are almost too obsessed with learning everything about it! This book is a great reference for those starting to plan a pregnancy. Even now, we refer back to the book for answering little questions that pop up along the way!

A Useful Reference

We've been trying to have a baby for a couple of years now, and I thought it was time that I made sure that I was as educated as I thought I was about conception. I definitely learned a few things from this book. This is a book you can skip around in easily, because not all of the topics are going to apply to everyone. It's informational without being dry and boring. There is also information here for the man you are trying to conceive with. I especially appreciated that the book acknowledged that not everyone can get pregnant at the drop of a hat, and addressed different options that are available. I'll definitely be holding on to this to refer to from time to time.

Very helpful

I found this book very helpful. I was comforted by the author's words and it helped me realise what I need to do to prepare my body for a baby.

Great book

I began reading this book as soon as I received it. This book has been full of facts I wasn't aware of. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about trying to have a baby.

Getting a good idea!

When my fiance and I began talking about starting a family, I realized that I knew the basics of how things work, but I didn't know much about conception, and all those important factors to factor in before trying to have a baby. This book was fantastic!!!! It's a great starter to planning for pregnancy!!! You'll learn about ways to improve your diet without completely changing it, and how your body works naturally to bring you and your partner together during your most fertile times. There's chapters on charting your ovulation with kits, and also how to predict when your ovulating by paying attention to your body's natural functions!! This is a must read for the couple contemplating having a baby!
