Book Reviews of Your Over-35 Week-by-Week Pregnancy Guide: All the Answers to All Your Questions About Pregnancy, Birth, and Your Developing Baby
Book Review: great book; highly informative
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book that describes most everything a woman over 35 needs to know in terms of medical management of pregnancy. Its written by an experienced mother and physician--this is highly recommended for information, to help make medical decisions, and to see if what we are experiencing is normal. Book Review: I just bought it again for my next pregnancy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was an excellent guide for my first pregnancy. The week-by-week format gives just enough information each week to let you know what is going on with your and your baby's body. I often read ahead just a bit to see what was to come but not too far as to get ahead of myself. It is easier to remember and understand in the weekly increments that the author writes in. The week by week journal is a great way to keep a record of what happens for later reference. I will use the journal in my first book to compare with what is happening in my second pregnancy and then will give both books to my children as an lasting reference to what was going on while I was pregnant with each of them. Book Review: Informative but scary
Summary: 2 Stars
I did not particularly enjoy this book. I found it to be full of frightening "what-if's." I would reccomend it to anyone over 35 who is expecting their first baby as is contains a lot of info on the developing fetus etc...but I thought the overall tone was too doom-and -gloom for me.Book Review: Excellent, my favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
This is far and away my favorite pregnancy book. It has tons of information, but spreads it out so you can read it when it is applicable. In response to the person who thought this book was negative, I can't understand how this book could be any more positive and be at all realistic. I would highly recommend this book to anyone even trying to become pregnant after 35, and suggest that even younger women could find tons of useful information in it.Book Review: A necessary book for your over 35 pregnancy.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a lifeline for me during my last pregnancy. Although it was my 4th time expecting a baby, being over 35 does change the way you react both physically and emotionally to pregnancy. The book is meant to be personalized to your particular pregnancy, with spaces for you to write the dates and record your emotions and physical feelings each week. The author is an over 35 mother herself and she discusses her personal history of loss and infertility just as if she were a close personal friend helping you navigate your own pregnancy. The analogies to help you picture what your baby looks like are especially innovative (she uses food items as examples of weight and length) and really gives you a peek into what's happening inside you when you can't actually see it yourself.
