5.0 out of 5 stars If you want to know about Pregnancy this book is for you!, October 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: While Waiting (Paperback)
"While Waiting", published in 1981, was written by George E. Verrilli, M.D. and Anne Marie Mueser, ED.D. Together they composed a well-written, highly informing book about pregnancy. Both of the authors are highly educated on the subject of pregnancy, therefore in this book they are able to answer any questions an anticipating mother may have during the 9 months of her pregnancy and after the child is born. I advise anyone who wants to educate him/herself on what a woman's body is going through during pregnancy to buy this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alternative to "What to Expect", March 12, 2007
By 
D. Kemp "OB nurse" (Michigan by Lake Huron) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: While Waiting, Third Revised Edition (Paperback)
I have been an OB nurse for over 30 years and I feel that "While Waiting" is one of the best books out there for expectant parents. It has practical, easy to read advice. There is a great section on nutrution that uses things that you can find in your own kitchen - not at a health food store.
This book is given to every new mom in the OB office where I work and at every childbirth education class I teach. It would also make a perfect extra gift for a shower.

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked 20 years ago and it works today, November 24, 2007

This review is from: While Waiting, Third Revised Edition (Paperback)
This book hits all the basics without running anything into the ground. Used it myself 20 years ago and just gave a fresh copy to my newly-pregnant daughter-in-law.

A winner.
