This was my favorite pregnancy book. It has a great week by week section that shows you what is happening with your baby. It also has a very extensive reference section that shows what type of medicine you can take while pregnant, different types of childbirth methods, tips on nutrition, etc... I give this book to all of my friends now the minute they tell me they are pregnant.

I would say this is easily my go to book for all things pregnancy and childbirth. I would definitely recommend this to women I teach childbirth education to. I think I favor this book more than any other, because I'm so in love with how it's written. Its written in easy to read/understand sentences. You don't feel like you're having to reread sentences and google terms because it's everyday, simple language. It has a factual, but laid back type of speak.

I found this book very helpful. It's a great medically based resource guide.

The most helpful book on pregnancy I've found. I really like the week-by-week guide to how you're feeling and how the baby is growing.

Probably not a terribly alarmist book relatively speaking, but I didn't love the very conservative, anxious tone of this book (the Sears' books are much better). Helpful only when you are bored and want to know what's going on in utero during those humdrum middle weeks (answer: not enough to be interesting).

I received this book from my doctor and I thought it was great. It is informative, comprehensive and easy to understand. I didn't like "What to Expect" because it was very alarmist. This one provided a good balance for me .

I got this book for free from the doctor's office. It came in a promotional package. I loved it though. It was fun to read the quick week by week summaries of changes to baby and mom.

I *really* liked the way this book was laid out - I think this will be my "buy" monthly book when the time comes.

This is the best book for when you are pregnant. Like an OBGYN that just sits on your nightstand, any and all questions can be answered with this book.
