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.

I found this book to be easy to read, but severely outdated.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!

This book definetly help you to prepare your body and yourself for a better pregnancy. When you are reading it you feel more responsable about this great project of life. Helps you to get more involve in the pregnancy before even you coinceive. I will recommend it specially to first mothers to be.

What you need to know before you conceive to ensure a healthy beginning for you and your baby. Covers the proper nutrition, importance of exercise, avoiding exposure to reproductive risks like smoking, x-rays, drugs, drinking & stress, medical problems, pregnancy after age 35, infertility, delivery problems, etc.

There are other books out there that take you through the entire pregnancy and parenting. Other books are much more comprehensive than this one. I really didn't find it helpful at all.

This book was very easy to read, once I got it I coldn't out it down. I think you should read this if you are planing for your first child or if you have been pregnant before!!
