Book Reviews of What to Expect When You're Expecting, Third Edition
Book Review: A must own for the pregnant woman
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually loaned this book to a pregnant friend and asked to get it back after her pregnancy. 2 years later and 10 requests later, I finally gave up and just bought it again from Amazon.com. I'm pregnant again, and I will NOT be without this very valuable book! It's a gold mine of information, and it was a comfort to have so much information right at my fingertips during my last pregnancy.
At one point, I was having braxton hicks contractions, but because of the book, I knew what they really were so did not waste my time going to the hospital. The book very clearly told me what I was feeling and it was right. I'm not a doctor, and I never would have known about braxton hicks contractions without this book. And so much else! It's the pregnant woman's bible!
It's like having an owner's manual for your pregnant body.
Book Review: It wasn't helpful.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this, right after I found out I was pregnant. I'm not in the medical field and thought it would be helpful.
I did like the beginning of each chapter of "what to expect this month". Other then that it didn't address much of anything that helped me. I found all the information I used online or from other women. I felt the information in this book was stuff you hear anyway from other women, or in your classes.
Book Review: Excellent book. A must have for pregnancy.

This book answers all of the questions. I loved it! It was very helpful during my pregnancy.Book Review: Scare-mongering tract
Summary: 1 Stars
This book takes all the joy out of pregnancy and puts all the terror in it. It harps on all the things that can possibly go wrong with your developing fetus and makes you cringe with terror at leaving home even. A much better book, is "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" by Da Capo books. It shows how the fetus is developing each week (size of a garbanzo, ears forming..ej) with illustrations, as well as a week-by-week summary of what's happening to the mother's body. My husband and I relished reading it each Saturday morning in bed, it became a pleasant ritual as we became accustomed to the idea of our growing child. And it makes pregnancy fun, not dreadful!
Book Review: Absolutely loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read a few breastfeeding books and this is by far my favorite! Most of them are so hard to read through, that you only use them for reference, this one is filled with real life and relatable scenarios that it is actually enjoyable! I would recommend it all pregnant women!
