Book Reviews of The Pregnancy Book: Month-by-Month, Everything You Need to Know From America's Baby Experts
Book Review: Great Book if You're High Risk and Counting the Days
Summary: 5 Stars
Currently pregnant, this is my second round with this book.This pregnancy was determined to be high risk from day one. What I like best about this book its organization. Unlike any other in my huge stack of PG books, this book breaks down its chapters to cover separate months of the pregnancy. This is very helpful to me in that it gives me a sense of accomplishment with every new chapter. It also helps me to focus on what's happening right now in my body, which is particularily great on days when having to comprehend the whole picture is overwhelming.
Since I've had to severely limit my activity early on, information on exercise, sex, and travel aren't much use to me, but I like that the authors delve into many of the more subtle symptoms and issues of pregnany.
Book Review: Excellent!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recommend ALL Sears books. He is positive, and very balanced. Most pregnancy books are directed towards a medical route, but, Sears always give you both a holistic perspective as well as medical. As an example, I had a home birth and my cousins all had hospital births and this book supports both and gives you information regarding both. He has 8 children, his wife is a nurse. All of their books are wonderful!Book Review: YOU NEED THIS >>>>>>>>>>>

I read and read and READ this book when I was pregnant, then I gave it as a gift several times over. There is some wonderful advice and encouragment. It is a very empowering book and helps you to take charge of your pregnancyBook Review: COVERED EVERY ASPECT OF PREGNANCY
Summary: 4 Stars
Indeed, this Pregnancy Book offered a complete coverage of pregnancy using the monthly staging method. Its analyses are thorough, and quite understandable. I cherished its authority.It explained all those hormonal, physical, and emotional changes, which build-up shortly after conception. There are also, chapters that dealt with many problems, which are associated with delicate and multiple pregnancies(i.e: twins, etc.). Labour; complications of labour, as well as various delivery choices and methods were emphasized.
This book exhibits all those experiences, which has made Dr Sears such a reliable adviser. It is worth spending on!
Book Review: The only disappointing Sears book I have read
Summary: 2 Stars
I am very attachment parenting, low intervention oriented, and I found this book a waste of money. There was too much information missing in this book, and any mother who had an intervention during her birth or suffered from morning sickness and required meds for it or didn't simply sip hot tea when she had the flu is going to feel like she scarred her child for life. It covered way too little- it was basically written for the woman who is going to have the picture perfect pregnancy and birth, with just a little nausea in the beginning, a little backache and heartburn in the middle, and a little backache and ankle swelling at the end. She then goes on to have a perfect 8-hour birth with her husband breathing with her perfectly through contractions, and her baby perfectly attaches to her breast after the birth. If you don't think you are this person, skip this book. Unforunately, I don't have any better recommendations- I am a fanatical reader and have yet to find a good pregnancy book on the market.
