Lots of great info!,

This review is from: What to Expect Gift Set : When You're Expecting & What to Expect the First Year (Paperback)
Both of these books give you a wealth of information about what to expect both before and after your baby is born. The problem I have with them is that they are set up in a Q&A format. Some unnamed parent writes in with a question about their baby and the authors answer. Though this does cover many important topics, I was hoping for something more direct. For example, when I was wondering what the signs of teething were, I had to consult the index, which directed me to several sections that mentioned teething, but didn't spell out the information I was looking for. I found this to be a problem mostly in What to Expect the First Year. I didn't really have any complaints about What to Expect When You're Expecting. It's definitely one of, if not THE, best book out there about pregnancy. Buy it. Just don't get this boxed set. For information on you baby's first year, I'd recommend a different parenting book such as The Baby Book by Dr. Sears.

INVALUABLE ADVICE!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: What to Expect Gift Set : When You're Expecting & What to Expect the First Year (Paperback)
I am the mother of a beautiful one year old daughter AND a wonderful 17 year old son. Although this is my second time around, 17 years is a big time span! Both of these books have been read and re-read many times in our household. Perfect gift for any baby shower or new parents!!

Very Pleased Reader of the What To Expect Series,
By Andrea Hightower (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: What to Expect Gift Set : When You're Expecting & What to Expect the First Year (Paperback)
I have kept the first "What to Expect when You're Expecting" book with me since my first pregnancy (more than 8 years ago!) and it reappears with each subsequent pregnancy. And of course the book "What to Expect the First Year" marked with notes from my first child appears shortly before each birth. I am now expecting our third (and LAST) child. I can't applaud this series enough! Every time I read these books I learn something new to assist with the daily tasks of growing, birthing, and raising children. My husband also enjoys reading these books right along with me. He has NEVER felt put down or left out-quite the opposite-the first book helps to explain all of the 'behind the scenes' changes so he better understands what I am going through while I still look 'normal.'I have purchased these books numerous times as gifts for friends and family who are expecting-and I will continue to do so. While these books are NOT all-inclusive, and in no way replace qualified medical advice, they are a great resource for any expectant parents and/or parents of infants! Congratulations to everyone who is reading this review who has just found out they are pregnant--you are in for the best time of your life!
