5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific organizer, July 7, 2004

By	Craftymama (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

I spent a lot of time comparing organizers in my local bookstore before making the decision to purchase The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers. I was drawn to this organizer for a couple of reasons.

1. I was looking for a compact organizer that would fit in my handbag. The 5 1/2" x 7" dimensions make it a nice size for carrying around.

2. I wanted a product that was friendly and fun. So many organizers are written in this ultra-earnest style that could make you totally obsessive and possibly a little crazy. The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers really stands apart from the rest of the crowd on this front.

3. I wanted an organizer that was packed with all the essentials, but not a lot of extras. After all, if I'm going to be carrying this thing around for 9 months, I don't want it to have a lot of content I'm never going to use.

4. I wanted an organizer with an eye-catching and attractive design. The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers uses the attractive line-art drawings from The Mother of All Pregnancy Books. The ink is an attractive shade of indigo -- very chic, in my opinion.

5. I wanted a book that contained useful medical information as well as the standard "keep track of your gifts," baby naming advice, etc. This organizer does the best job of delivering on that front, in my opinion.

The fact that this book is written by one of my favorite pregnancy authors is simply a bonus. It's a great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and cool organizer, July 11, 2004

By	Crys (Ontario) - See all my reviews

I had a hard time finding a pregnancy organizer that I wanted to purchase until I stumbled across this one. A lot of other organizers are either ultra-feminine (not my style) or kind of preachy (not my style either), so I was pleasantly surprised to come across this very fun and cool pregnancy organizer. It's terrific. There's tons of room to record anything and everything about my pregnancy, and yet the format isn't so rigid that I have to feel guilty if I don't want to write stuff down every single day. (I don't want to be a slave to my pregnancy organizer.) The organizer is beautifully designed and contrary to what an earlier reviewer said, I haven't had any problem with the pages jamming at all. Maybe her book was defective or something.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well designed organizer that meets the needs of moms-to-be, June 29, 2004

By	rachelle myers (Ottawa) - See all my reviews

I am very impressed with this pregnancy organizer. It has the very types of information that you want in a pregnancy organizer: spaces to record details about your pregnancy, medical information, information about gifts that you have received, information about your birthing plans, details about what types of baby supplies you have purchased, etc. There is also a comprehensive resource guide that you can refer to while you are on the go (e.g., which types of cheese are/aren't safe to eat during pregnancy; a medications guide; foods that increase/decrease nausea; symptoms of preterm labor; etc.) There are also some blank calendar pages at the back of the organizer so your pregnancy organizer can replace your regular organizer for the duration of your pregnancy. The organizer is attractive and compact -- the perfect size for carrying in your handbag or briefcase.
