Excellent,comprhensive, birth to grave guidebook for women

As a physician who takes care of many female patients, I have been delighted with the practical and accurate information provided in this book. I am routinely recommending it to all of my patients and have purchased copies of it for my own family members. This is a must read for any woman who is concerned about her health and well being. I give this one 5 stars without hesitation.

Top review from the Library Journal.

From Library Journal: Obstetricians/gynecologists in private practice, Newman and Stevens have collaborated with five other physician specialists to produce this book on women's health. Written in a clear and conversational style, it explains how women can maintain good physical and mental health through life. The first part, which focuses on gynecological health from adolescence to menopause, treats topics like dating, marriage, motherhood, weight control, sexually transmitted diseases (STD), cancer prevention, menopause, and incontinence, with a balanced emphasis on clinical and psychological issues. Part 2, on obstetrics, guides women from the pre-pregnancy test through the three trimesters to labor and delivery. Additional resources are listed after each chapter, with recommended books, organizations, and Internet sites all included. Aiming to better educate women and give them the confidence to manage changes and stresses, this guide is a useful supplement to such women's health classics as Our Bodies, Ourselves. For larger public libraries and hospital patient education collections.Lily Liu, Arkansas Children's Hosp. Lib., Little Rock

A really helpful resource!

This book provides a wealth of helpful information in a format that's really reader-friendly. Its topics are relevant to women in every stage of life. With so much mis-information out there, it's great to have a resource you can trust!

Phenomenal book, a must for every woman!!!!

Women's Health feels like it was written just for me! I am excited to reread the chapters on pregnancy and childbirth. I just wish I had this book with my first pregnancy. There is so much information. The quotes make me feel as if I was reading the book with my best friend. A wonderful addition to my library. Thank you!

A great book to own

This is a great book to have, especially when you have women of different ages in your house. I've learned alot about PMS and stress management. My mother learned alot about pelvic pain and menopause. We really loved it!
