Book Reviews of What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
Book Review: Thorough!
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a very thorough look at your pregnancy. In the later stages, I found I preferred read only if I was concerned about something because otherwise you can turn into a worrier! But this a a classic, must have pregnancy book in my opinion. Book Review: recommended for pregnancy
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this book for my sister-in-law the day she found out that she was pregnant. A friend let me borrow this when I was pregnant and it is the BEST pregnancy book out there!!Book Review: Good information
Summary: 4 Stars
I like the book, it's a good series for general rules or troubleshooting problems with raising a child. My only real complaint is that you can read one passage saying one thing and another two pages later saying the opposite. For me it's a general how you can run your life, not a "this is how to parent" type of book. Best part is trouble shooting issues with my newborn.
I guess if my wife didn't think the book was the end all be all I'd be happier with it. It's not fun saying you read something and then being told the book said otherwise, and having to go back and forth to say "It's up to us to decide what to do, not the book" and cross referencing the differences to answer questions.
Book Review: It's the best pregnancy book I've read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't see why so many people have a problem with this book. Yes, it talks about "worst case scenarios" and many things that may scare you, but that's such a small part it. And I would much rather be prepared for these things that caught off guard. It's a great month-by-month guide on what to expect when pregnant. It shows you how the baby is developing, lists possible symptoms and other changes in the woman's body, and discusses in depth the many questions we have about illness, caffeine, smoking, dying your hair and whatever else. It's fantastic! I read a little almost every day, and many parts over and over. I love knowing what to expect at each stage of my pregnancy...especially this being our first. A warning for men: this book is written for women! It has many concerns that you may not be so worried about, but we are! My husband loves this book, but it even annoys him at times. I suggest "The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be," by Armin A. Brott for the daddies. My husband loves it. I bought "What to Expect When You're Expecting" as suggested by a friend, and I would highly recommend it for any woman. I bought many pregnancy books, and this is pretty much the only one I still read. Keep in mind it's a GUIDE, not a definitive Bible for pregnancy. Every woman's pregnancy is different. But if you want all the possibilities in pregnancy, one month at a time, then this is your book.Book Review: Excellent Book
