| Review: | When I went looking to buy a book to read throughout my pregnancy, I considered many different options. I looked at the best-known titles (What to Expect) and little-known authors. I read reviews, read excerpts, and paged through about a million selections at a handful of bookstores. This one was my choice for several reasons. First, it's written by a doctor, but it's not written in technical language. It's written from her perspective as a mom, using her expertise as a doctor. Second, it has sections for every little aspect of pregnancy, from week-by-week guides, to tests, to complications, to labor, delivery, birth, and the first few months. I liked this thorough look at the whole process. And finally, it had a zillion looks at real women and real situations. The author didn't attempt to take a "this is the only circumstance" look at pregnancy, but instead acknowledged that everyone experiences something a little bit different. This was my Bible throughout my pregnancy, and I know I'll read it again with any other children we have. I highly, highly recommend! |
