The Essential Over 35 Pregnancy Guide Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After reading Natalie Angiers' book, "Woman: An IntimateGeography", this book left something to be desired.As a primer forwomen who are over 35 and either want to be or are pregnant, it was notbad, however, for a woman who is over 35 and wants to be pregnant and hasread a good deal about her body and her possibilities, this book was sortof more the Reader's Digest variety.This book might well serve as aresource for all the different tests an older mother can have to ensurefetal health.It also however, stressed a little too much on all thevarious reasons that older women have a higher risk ofconceiving/delivering unhealthy babies. Once I had finished it I had ahard time convincing myself that it was 'going to be ok' to conceive at 37and deliver a health child to term - not the sort of feeling one wants at37 before her first child.In any case, the key to understanding the pointof reference for this book was the fact that the author was a doctor (henceall those tests) and had had her first child at 41.
