4.0 out of 5 stars Just what I wanted
This book told me exactly what I wanted to know! I was interested in what was happening inside me. What was developing? What could the baby do? How big was he? Etc., etc. There is also other useful, factual info. in it. It's great! I've recommended it to all my pregnant friends.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and narrow-minded views of labor and birth
I have reviewed numerous books on pregnancy and birth, and this is one of the worst. The author presents a one-sided description of a "typical" pregnancy, labor and delivery which totally ignores many of the alternatives available to women. Additionally, many of her descriptions of "common" prenatal, labor and delivery procedures are wildly...

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and narrow-minded views of labor and birth, October 5, 1998
This review is from: Pregnancy Pure & Simple (Paperback)
I have reviewed numerous books on pregnancy and birth, and this is one of the worst. The author presents a one-sided description of a "typical" pregnancy, labor and delivery which totally ignores many of the alternatives available to women. Additionally, many of her descriptions of "common" prenatal, labor and delivery procedures are wildly outdated in 1998. Women reading this book today are reading about their mothers' deliveries; they will not be gaining useful information for their own.

1.0 out of 5 stars a terribly misleading book, September 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pregnancy Pure & Simple (Paperback)
Hotchner has never had a baby! She has made a name for herself as an "expert" in this field but this is a dated book filled with second-hand information and advice. The author of the screenplay for "Mommie Dearest" -- what does this tell you? -- should stick to movies.
