4.0 out of 5 stars I really liked the calendar aspect of the book., August 8, 1998

By A Customer

This is a great book for people who like to keep track of their pregnancy one day at a time, like me. Books like "What to Expect When You're Expecting" are set up in a month-by-month format, but I am one who likes to keep tabs of things in smaller increments than that. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! Best pregnancy book I have found!, March 23, 1998

By A Customer

This book is fantastic. I had been reading "What to Expect when you are Expecting" and it was making me very nervous. This is a great book that gives a very positive outlook of what is happening to both you and your baby every week. I love to read it with my husband as each week passing. It makes us feel like we are experiencing it together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, upbeat overview, July 25, 1997

By A Customer

When I first went to the book store looking for pregnancy books, I left very very depresssed. Books like "What to expect when you are expecting" and the "Girlfriends' Guide" made me quite afraid. Pregnancy Week By Week shows all of the wonderful things about being pregnant. It shows concentrates on the development of your baby, which is what pregnancy is all about after all. It explains the changes that a woman can expect in her body, but does it in a way that is not so frightening as the "Girlfreinds' guide" "and What to expect when you are expecting" It also covers common complaints, but does it in a way so that the focus is still the developing baby...the discomforts of pregnancy are just incidental in this book. This is a great overview, but does not go very, very deeply into various important issues. If you want a very detailed book, look at Miriam Stoppard's "Conception, Pregnancy and Birth."
