This book is a great resource for any woman who just found out she is pregnant with her first child. It answers all of those basic questions like, "can I drink coffee?" or "can I own a pet?", with the answer coming from a licensed obstetrician. I actually bought this book to use as an educational piece for our hospital website, but as a woman looking to have her first child soon, it was extremely educational to me as well.

This is the Best Book I have read in years, and I read constantly.
It is a charming, easy going format that offers a necessary understanding of the pregnancy process.
It is a must-have for every book shelf, right next to the family health and emergency care references. For prospective Moms, it is the perfect Baby Shower gift, and a calming gift for the nervous Mother-in-Law who is a Grandma in waiting.
And it should be required reading for every man, it makes the whats and whys of pregnancy clear and actionable.
Thanks to the authors.
