Book Reviews of Your Pregnancy Week by Week (Your Pregnancy Series)
Book Review: The best pregnancy book I've read!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read "what to expect" and the "mayo clinic guide" cover to cover as well as this book and while they are all good and informative "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" is the best in my opinion. My only problem with it is that I think the title is misleading and some people just might read the book a week at a time during their pregnancy but the book will address important information (like avoiding green tea in early pregnancy) in the 25th month when that was something that should have been mentioned in the first week! Book Review: One of my favorite Pregnancy books
Summary: 4 Stars
The good thing about this book, is that it breaks everything down week by week. So you get to learn about your child's development, size, how they look, what's going on with you and then on a week by week basis. No other book seemed to tell me 'It's x weeks, your baby's x is forming right now he/she is x oz and x long approximately, and looks like This'.
On the otherhand there's somewhat random information about various medical issues just scattered around the different weeks. Like Sickle Cell disease, and it mentions this under week 22 I think but it's not like that's something that occurs just then.
On the bright side if you don't have time to read a book cover to cover, this lets you take things a little at a time so it's less overwhelming. But the best part is following the development on a weekly basis instead of on a monthly basis, which is not nearly as exciting.
Book Review: worry your way through pregnancy
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book because it was written by a doctor and was recommended to me but I am very unhappy with this purchase. The vast majority of the content of the book is negative in nature. From STDs, to ectopic pregnancies and on to every birth defect imaginable, this book spends most of it's space on the problems you could face. The first couple of paragraphs of each chapter discuss the growing baby and then it launches in to new problems for each week and not even in a helpful, precautionary way. Stay away from this book! Not good for nervous, hormone-filled pregnant women!!!Book Review: Highly Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
There are many critics of this book who claim that it is worries expectant mothers unnecessarily. However, I feel that it is necessary to understand the risks of pregnancy, as well as how to take care of the needs of an expectant mother. It is foolish to ignore the statistics, no matter how scary they can be because bad things do happen, and it is wise to be prepared.
I would definitely recommend this book to all expectant fathers and mothers.
Book Review: Excelent Book on Pregnancy.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent, informative book, well written and organized, which I have found helpful at answering a lot of my concerns and questions.
Buy the book!
