Book Reviews of What to Expect When You're Expecting

Book Review: "What to feel guilty about when you are expecting"
Summary: 3 Stars

The childbirth educators at the hospital were full of praise for this book. The childbirth educators away from the hospital were full of scorn for it. Speaking from the father perspective, I found it to be full of unrealistic advice. No one's going to keep the diet and exercise routine they suggest, and if you deviate from it, your baby isn't goign to come out handicapped in mind and body. It does prepare you to be very cooperative with hospital staff and have the birth experience that is most convenient for the hospital staff. It also provides you with a lot of information about medical problems you probably won't face.

Girlfriends Guide provided a much more realistic perspective for me. Our Doula was our key source of information during pregnancy.
