My girlfriend and I got this book after she recently became pregnant. We're going through the food section and getting ready for our first trip to the grocery store for pregnancy food. And we're running into all these contradictory statements... for instance, one page says swordfish is a high risk fish for mercury and it should be avoided, and two pages later there's a box that includes swordfish as being a good thing to get. The book seems to contradict itself about other fish, and cheeses and lordy knows what else. It seems like a thorough book but this isn't a good start!

I am the mother of three children. I have had three completely different birth experiences. I would not have known what to do or expect if it had not been for this book. When I got pregnant with my first child (unexpectedly), I started researching. I read several good books about pregnancy and birth, none were as comprehensive and honest as this one. My daughter is now 15, my sons are 9 and 11. My opinion of this book has stood the test of time and three kids. My arches have fallen, my breasts have sagged and my hips have widened, but this book is still a breath of fresh air.
