5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Resource Book, January 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Working Woman's Baby Planner (Paperback)

This book provides good, common sense advice for working-mom's-to-be. Despite advances, pregnant women in the workplace still sometimes face both challenges and obstacles. This book helps you work through and around those difficulties. I referred to it often during my first pregnancy, and have gone back to it during my second pregnacy. Additionally, there is specific information about stress relievers, how to plan for baby around your work schedule, preparing to return to work, and finding suitable child care. An all-around excellent resource book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read for busy working mothers-to-be, May 8, 2000

This review is from: The Working Woman's Baby Planner (Paperback)

If you're a devoted reader of the "Your Pregnancy" column in such magazines as Glamour and Mademoiselle, then this book is for you. Sprinkled throughout with words like "tips,""strategies," and "time-saving techniques" it reads a little like several magazine articles strung together. But that's not a bad thing, especially if you're pregnant and working--who has time to read long chapters?

There are lots of checklists and worksheets in this book...
