2.0 out of 5 stars Save your money, January 13, 2005

This review is from: Your Second Pregnancy: What to Expect This Time (Paperback)

Most of the information in this book is common sense. Saying that all pregnancies are different and that juggling two (or more) kids is a challenge isn't exactly earth shattering news. Very few of the subjects in this book are really explored in depth. I agree with the reviewer who said this book is like something you'd expect from a magazine. It hits on several good topics but doesn't really say a lot about any of them. I got more out of re-reading the books I had with my first pregnancy. This book felt like a waste of time. I don't really think it's worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good and just about only book on second pregnancies., September 18, 2004

This review is from: Your Second Pregnancy: What to Expect This Time (Paperback)

I thought this book was reassuring and informative. It's been 5 years since my last pregnancy, so I wanted a "refresher" book and a book that commented on second pregnancies and how the first child feels. I thought there was some good information about preparing your first child. The section on working moms was nice too.

I disagree with some of the other reviews that say the author is pessimistic about raising 2 kids. I did not get that feeling from her. Yes there were comments in the book that things will get more complicated, but that is, of course, TRUE. I thought the author had good information about juggling the pregnancy and the newborn period, while also having a toddler/school age child on your hands.

Let's face it, most of these books all have information in them that are common sense and that most of us know anyway. The nice thing about the book, is that it is reassuring to just hear another person talk about the things that you're thinking of, questioning, and worrying about.

I recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars don't buy it, November 11, 2002

This review is from: Your Second Pregnancy: What to Expect This Time (Paperback)

I was not happy with this book. I did not think this book gave a very positive view of parenting two children. It seemed to be very pessimistic - instead of giving helpful hints on how to juggle everything, it talked about how difficult it was. The comments from various people all seemed to be complaints, not tips or hints to help othersin the same situation. I will be exchanging this book for one of the other ones - it was depressing!
