This review is from: Getting Pregnant & Staying Pregnant: Overcoming Infertility and Managing Your High-Risk Pregnancy (Paperback)

It was a great book with lots and lots of information. I have lost two sons to still birth and this book gave me hopes and options and let me be in the drivers seat. It gave me knowledge so I won't have to depend on the doctor to give me all the information I need and desire. I would recommend this book to anyone who has experienced a loss and needs a little more answers than what was provided.

This review is from: Getting Pregnant & Staying Pregnant: Overcoming Infertility and Managing Your High-Risk Pregnancy (Paperback)

I thought that this book was actually going to give me options on ow to manage my high risk pregnancy and what to do or avoid in order to stay pregnant, but it did NOT!! It's more of a dictionary. It explains some things and what the meaning of medical terms are but it doesn't give you any advice whatsoever. It doesn't tell you anythhing that your doctor can't tell you. I wouldn't recomment it at all.
