Great resource

I was really looking forward to having this amazing resource, only I got an outdated book. The version I believed to have purchased was the updated version as stated by the description but it was a 2016 version.

Es un libro 📕 hermoso

Definitivamente me encanto es un buen regalo 🎁 donde aprendes muchas cosas cuando estas en el mejor momento de tu vida (el embarazo 🤰

Excellent resource

I'd heard this was the "bible" of pregancy resources, and it certainly is. Any question you have it's in here. I high recommend to any pregnant woman, or her family

A must-have, despite some of these other negative reviews!

I have read a few negative reviews saying that this book scares pregnant women. That is not the case. In fact, without the clear, honest information in this book, I'd be showing up at my doctor's office (or the ER!) every day! The chapter about what can go wrong during pregnancy is in the back, and you don't even have to look at it if it does not apply to you or you are not interested in knowing that information. Most of the other chapters take you through the months of your pregnancy, with clear, organized, and useful information. When I was feeling a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, I started freaking out a bit... the book suggested I was feeling round ligament pains, and weeks later at my check-up my doctor confirmed that. Even though a book can't diagnose every woman, it is nice to read all the possibilities of what a woman is experiencing. I find the writing to be very positive, upbeat, supportive, and understanding. This is a must-have book for pregnant women who want to be informed.
