1.0 out of 5 stars I wasn't thrilled with this book..., June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Twelve-Month Pregnancy (Paperback)

I had high expectations of this book and was hoping it could tell me some insightful pointers on healthy pre-conceiving, however, the book told me nothing I hadn't already known (don't drink, don't smoke, don't gain or lose too much weight, eat healthy foods). I breezed through the entire contents in 30 minutes and I don't think there is any information included in this book that your OB/GYN wouldn't tell you in your first office visit. I'd recommend looking around for a more comprehensive and informative book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Outdated and alarmist, July 13, 2005

This review is from: The Twelve-Month Pregnancy (Paperback)

I found this book to be easy to read, but severely outdated. The author also took a very alarmist stance that treated pregnancy as an illness. I would have preferred a more balanced view like what I found in Pregnancy for Dummies, which is a very good introductory book. I would NOT recommend this book!
