4.0 out of 5 stars
Very good reference,
By A Customer
This review is from: Planning for Pregnancy, Birth And Beyond: Second Revised Edition (Paperback)
Everyone knows that it's very important to plan ahead for a healthy pregnancy, but sometimes it's hard to find out exactly what you're supposed to be doing! While this book is a very good reference, my only quibble is with the style. It's written in a fairly dry manner and it's not always easy to locate the information that you need in a hurry. If you read this book and you want to know more, you might want to pick up The Unofficial Guide to Having A Baby by John R. Sussman, M.D., and Ann Douglas. It is packed with useful medical information and it's written in a fun, readable style.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good for the price, but a bit text book.,
By Emma Louise Harvey (Holland, Mi United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planning for Pregnancy, Birth And Beyond: Second Revised Edition (Paperback)
This book was nice to read, but a little boring. If you listened in biology class then this book is not for you. Just your basic stuff really. If you want a good informative read with really helpful information (especially for 1st timers) then Conception, Pregnancy and Birth (Dr. Miriam Stoppard) is a wonderful book, with helpful information on excersise, newborn care and wonderful pictures!!

Planning for Pregnancy, Birth, and Beyond,
By A Customer
This review is from: Planning for Pregnancy, Birth And Beyond: Second Revised Edition (Paperback)
I was a little disappointed with this book. I was looking for user-friendly, in depth information, and it didn't quite make it. Although it is more recent than John Sussman's books, it is certainly not easier to read.
