Best Overall Pregnancy Resource,
By Jennifer Waldroup (Carlton, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Planning Your Pregnancy and Birth, Third Edition (Paperback)
A one-stop goldmine for new parents! After an extensive survey of pregnancy resources, I was very pleased with the most recent edition of Planning Your Pregnancy & Birth. Coming from one of the nation's top authoritaties on OB/GYN care(ACOG), this handbook is ideal for expectant parents, students, healthcare professionals, or anyone wanting to get solid, current pregnancy details. Easy-to-read, comprehensive - with info. ranging from preconception to postpartum to pregnancy loss - and chocked full of clear illustrations and graphs, this resource contains loads of helpful tips in every section (including checklists) and includes a section on new father issues. Terms with easy-to-understand definitions, more charts, and a fill-in section for you to keep track of your pregnancy, are all included in the back of this book. I also found the smaller size and paperback version (fits easily in most purses & briefcases) to be a handy alternative to many of the larger, bulkier options on the market today. Get this book and you won't need any others!

A great book,

This review is from: Planning Your Pregnancy and Birth, Third Edition (Paperback)
By a friend's recommendation, I bought "what to expect when you are expecting". As she said, this is a "pregnancy bible". But I actually like this book -- "planning your pregnancy and birth" much better.
This book is clear, well-organized, and practical. I have a busy schedule. Also my reading speed is fairly slow since English is not my native language. So I appreciate the conciseness and yet still completeness of "planning ...". On the other hand, "What to expect ..." book has 130 more pages with smaller prints. It's also hard for me to find related topics in "what to expect" book, which according to my very personal opinion, has too much information and has too much useless talk.

Perfect,
By A Customer
This review is from: Planning Your Pregnancy and Birth, Third Edition (Paperback)
This book is perfect for expecting moms. It is free of the ideology of the books by Sears and the "what to expect" crowd. Instead, it is a simple, "just the facts" look at pregnancy, birth, and newborn infancy. If you get only one pregnancy book, this is absolutely the one I recommend. It will put your mind at ease.
