5.0 out of 5 stars Written for Dads, October 24, 2003

By	Brian McGovern (Lowville, NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy (Paperback)

The other reviewers (especially the first one) may have missed the point a little. This book is specifically written FOR DADS and (to be politically correct) "life-partners." It's NOT designed to be a "book for expectant mothers, but which dads-to-be might also enjoy." If there is a dad-to-be in the relationship who actually cares about the mother & child, HE should be the one reading this book. It's a great resource for helping us guys understand what's going on, as well as how to treat our wives/partners like queens. It doesn't pretend to tell us how to completely understand women; that's impossible, especially during pregnancy. It does, however, give advice on how to deal with things in a healthy, positive way.

I appreciate that there's a book like this that explains everything in layman's terms, but with enough depth to keep from insulting my intelligence. I didn't find it condescending at all. In fact, being a first-time dad-to-be, there were many aspects of the pregnancy that I was clueless about. And paternalistic? In my view, since the book was written for men, that's a good thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a bible for soon-to-be moms!, September 29, 2003

By	stella stolper (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy (Paperback)

The reader who submitted the last review obviously did not read the book or its title. This book is called "How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy" - it's written for the mom AND the dad. I used the first edition of this book throughout my first pregnancy and regard it as a bible. There were so many times when I had a first-time-around mom question - and felt uncomfortable about calling my doc over every little thing - this book put my fears to rest by telling me - and my husband - what to do and when to call without sounding like a nag to my OB. Yes, this book is written so that dads feel like part of the process - and thank goodness! My husband wanted to help and didn't always know how. Having a quick reference guide written with both of us in mind was really helpful. Moreover, the book includes natural remedies that I couldn't find in other books - from an MD - which was nice because as a first timer, I was worried about everything, including medications during pregnancy. I have so many notes in it and so many pages are dog-eared that I refuse to lend it out. I can't imagine what the last reviewer was thinking - except that maybe it competes with a book s/he or a friend wrote!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Pregnancy Book I've Seen Yet, January 10, 2004

By	SM "ornith" (CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy (Paperback)

My husband and I both agree that this book is the best one we've ever seen. This is our second pregnancy, and I picked up the book actually thinking of my brother & sis-in-law who are expecting their 1st. After flipping through it only a little, I bought a second copy for us, since the information is so thorough and accessible.

I particularly appreciate all the information the author provides about specific tests - he points out and explains things that we non-medical people wouldn't otherwise know. For instance, if a pregnant woman is feeling particularly fatigued (and shows other symptoms as well, which he describes,) you can ask your doctor to test for thyroid conditions - but he explains that you should ask for a specific type of test, as the most common test tends to be inaccurate.

I also REALLY like his diet guidelines for fending off gestational diabetes! If you've ever felt sluggish after eating, suffered wheat or gluten allergies or had a G.D. scare you know that what you eat can DRASTICALLY affect the way you feel - and the guidelines provided in this book, even if followed loosely, will keep you healthier and improve your energy considerably.

I could go on and on about how highly I regard this book; it's not a "pregnancy guide book" like the "What to Expect..." book, but more of a "quick reference manual," if you will. I have found the information to be superior.
