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:

"About" Time!,

This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Having A Baby: Important Information, Advice, and Support for Your Pregnancy (About.com Guides) (Paperback)
I loved that Robin includes her personal voice and perspective in this pregnancy and birth guide! It's a welcome change from all the objective, sterile drivel that passes for pregnancy/birth manuals. She also has a way of making you feel like birth is safe, natural and normal. It's like having your own personal doula and birth educator right in your own home! Thanks, Robin!

VERY helpful,
This review is from: The About.Com Guide To Having A Baby: Important Information, Advice, and Support for Your Pregnancy (About.com Guides) (Paperback)
This book was great for us because it provided advice on many aspects of pregnancy. Rather than just talk about the physical aspects of pregnancy Weiss describes emotional aspects as well. I especially liked the section on choosing a childbirth class, as my husband and I were overwhelmed with the possibilities available to us. This is a great book for anyone who is pregnant or wanting to be pregnant.
