More About the Author
As a busy mother of eight and author of many pregnancy and parenting books, it's easy to see why I say that pregnancy is my life! Professionally and personally, and I've got the stretch marks to prove it. I love to share my passion for normal birth with others, both in the classroom and on the web. My goal is to use my knowledge and experience to teach in a fun and exciting manner. After all if you can't laugh about being pregnant, what can you laugh at?
Writing for the web is another passion of mine. You can find lots of great pregnancy information at my sites:

Great Book,
This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Baby Care: A Complete Resource for Your Baby's Health, Development and Happiness (About.com Guides) (Paperback)
Even though I have been around many babies I gained a lot from reading this book. It was great how my husband (who has zero experience with babies) and I both learned things from the author's easy to read style of writing. I recommend getting a copy of this book for yourself as well as one for anyone you know who is pregnant or who just had a baby because if you lend it out you won't be getting it back!

Helpful and Practical,

This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Baby Care: A Complete Resource for Your Baby's Health, Development and Happiness (About.com Guides) (Paperback)
I am at that point in my life when all my friends are having babies. This is one of the best books I could get them. So far, all the feedback I have gotten from new moms is that this has been a huge help. A lot of the questions that parents are afraid to ask for fear of sounding silly or unknowing are answered here. It is a great go-to guide for baby care.
