"From Sheila Kitzinger, author of the bestselling Complete Book of Pregancy and Childbirth, a unique diry and pregnancy guide. On each page, the expectant mother will find not only information on a specific aspect of pregnancy but a place to record her emotions and experiences, creating her own permanent record of her pregnancy. 250 watercolors and photographs."
"This is a great book for people who like to keep track of their pregnancy one day at a time, like me. Books like "What to Expect When You're Expecting" are set up in a month-by-month format, but I am one who likes to keep tabs of things in smaller increments than that. Highly recommend!"
"This book is an excellent source of intelligent pregnancy information. Instead of leading the reader to look for problems, Dr. Sears et al do a wonderful job of presenting the information in a positve and educational way. Information in the monthly sections is timely for each stage of pregnancy without being repetitive or hard to find. A GREAT alternative to "What to Expect...""
"This book made being pregnant so exciting! My husband and I would read it together everyday, and when he traveled out of town, I would email each day's exciting events to him. I also felt the Food Facts were very helpful and they inspired me to eat the best possible foods for my baby. My husband enjoyed the quotes at the bottom of each page and we actually posted some of them on our refrigerator. I send a copy to all my friends the minute I learn they're expecting!"
"This really is one of the best, if not the best, books about pregnancy. For women and men going through the process, it gives wonderfully informative tidbits each week about the development of the baby and the changes to the mom's body, along with sketches to see how baby and mom are growing. I found it best to read it at the beginning of each new week to keep up with my baby's development process. Unlike some other books on pregnancy, it focuses on the positive, providing useful advice while avoiding overwhelming readers with too much about what can go wrong during pregnancy. It is well worth purchasing, since it is a reassuring reference tool for expectant parents."
"This book provides easy to read, well-researched information on virtually every aspect of pregnancy: You can find out what exercises are safe (and which aren't), how to cope with common (and uncommon)pregnancy symptoms, and you can follow your baby's growth inside you from month to month. The author also discusses some of her personal experiences, from how she felt after experiencing a miscarriage to the many fears she had about labor and delivery. Although written in 1991, this book has been continually updated, so the information it contains is current."
"This bestselling pregnancy guide is now thoroughly revised and updated, with month-by-month advice on all aspects of development for both mother and baby. Includes an all-new diet section detailing the latest facts on fat and cholesterol and outlining the most current nutritional guidelines. "
