My daughter is pregnant with her first baby and I know the insight provided in this book was very reassuring to me so I decided to pass the information knowing that it's easy, short and enjoyable.
Also, I love that the book gets updated.
Truly, an excellent guide of information

Credibility in Question
In "Chapter 2: Your Pregnancy Profile" some sections are alarmingly off base; some information is incorrect, other information is outdated, and the rest I have to wonder why Murkoff bothered including if she wasn't going to do her research or bring in other experts. It makes me question the validity of the rest of the book.I started the book at Part 2 (Chapter 5) and there's helpful information there. But then I flipped back to Part 1 and encountered the problem mentioned above. It is my hope that Part 2 is reliable and is filled with information the author is knowledgeable about; and perhaps Part 1 is where the author is trying to make the book applicable to more pregnancies with the new 2024 edition. But I just have to wonder why the author would damage her credibility by including sections that she obviously knows nothing about.UPDATE! I'm now reading about the Second Trimester and some advice is EXTREMELY DETRIMENTAL. For example the Body Image section tells women that men find them more desirable with a baby belly and that if a woman is really concerned she should just stop eating ice cream.
