Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was the first book I bought about prepregnancy.Sussman was highly recommended and I bought this book first.I read each and every page.I am not yet pregnant, this is my first child, and I am not 30 yet -- but I appreciated the parts on high-risk pregnancies.I like to know what may happen just to prepare myself.My husband and I both feel that we are prepared for anything from a "perfect textbook" pregnancy and delivery to complete bedrest and quitting work -- and this book helped us talk about ideas and situations presented in the book.
I especially enjoyed the sections on over the counter and prescription medications, workplace toxins, and why some (everyday) things are not good for your baby.
I agree that some of the content is outdated -- however there are still many good parts!
My favorite part overall is the section with the check lists.I am very organized and keep detailed lists of things to do/ask about/learn more about/read, etc.I would suggest this book to anyone who is planning to become pregnant.I DON'T suggest ANY ONE BOOK exclusively.I believe that you will need several books to get the best picture of what is happening to and in your body.I suggest "What to Expect...", "Unofficial Guide..." and (my personal favorite right now) "Pregnancy Journal...".
