Before You Conceive: The Complete Pregnancy Guide Review

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I agree that some of the content is outdated -- however there are still many good parts!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...".

Before Your Pregnancy: A 90 Day Guide for Couples on How to Prepare for a Healthy Conception Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am usually too lazy to bother to type reviews. However, I HAD to write on on this book. If you are like me in that you want from a pre-pregnancy/pregnancy book:
- thoroughness
- inclusiveness
- reliability
- readibility
then you will not be disppointed by this book. I bought this first, before I conceived, to make sure that I was doing all I could/ should to prepare my body for pregnancy. This book addressed the whole range of issues related to this, and in a very clear, readable (lots of graphics to explain things) yet extremely authoritative manner. The authors have their credentials and this comes through clearly.
I have very high expectations of books, especially when they are on such an important topic as pregnancy. Up-to-date info. is mandatory--not optional--and this books has it.
After I became pregnant, I bought many other pregnancy books, but kept coming back to this one. The others are better for describing what is going on month-by-month, etc., but NONE are better for general medical reference info. For example, this is the only book I have found that breaks down herbs into 3 categories ("Safe During Pregnancy", "Herbs That Warrant Caution" and "Herbs to Avoid") and clasifies every major herb you are likely to encounter (in teas, body creams, etc.). They also describe common concerns/ probelms in a very user-friendly yet authoritative manner, and told me all I needed to know about continuing to exercise safely throughout pregnancy. Plus the tone of the book is very positive, reassuring and upbeat.
I can't say enough about this book. It is my pregnancy bible.
