Book Reviews of What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition
Book Review: Expectant Mothers - Stay Away!
Summary: 1 Stars
Good for nothing more than scaring expectant mothers into blindly following modern medicine - despite the consequences and other options available. Much of the information is either outdated and alarmist, and will surely worry expectant mothers (especially first time moms) for no reason. Pregnancy is a wonderful, joyous journey - don't bog it down with the undue stress this book will cause!Book Review: Don't bother
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the first book on pregnancy I purchased. I was extremely disappointed. Not only is it poorly organized, but it is not very informative. This book is supposed to be the the holy grail of pregnancy books, but I say don't waste your money!Book Review: First Pregnancy
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helped me through a lot of symptoms I was having and didn't know what to expect!Book Review: A must-have, despite some of these other negative reviews!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a few negative reviews saying that this book scares pregnant women. That is not the case. In fact, without the clear, honest information in this book, I'd be showing up at my doctor's office (or the ER!) every day! The chapter about what can go wrong during pregnancy is in the back, and you don't even have to look at it if it does not apply to you or you are not interested in knowing that information. Most of the other chapters take you through the months of your pregnancy, with clear, organized, and useful information. When I was feeling a lot of pain in my lower abdomen, I started freaking out a bit... the book suggested I was feeling round ligament pains, and weeks later at my check-up my doctor confirmed that. Even though a book can't diagnose every woman, it is nice to read all the possibilities of what a woman is experiencing. I find the writing to be very positive, upbeat, supportive, and understanding. This is a must-have book for pregnant women who want to be informed.Book Review: An Easy Read When It's Hard to Concentrate
Summary: 5 Stars
A very easy and quick read for any reader. Very helpful information and explanations.
