Book Reviews of Your Pregnancy Week by Week (Your Pregnancy Series)
Book Review: D. Braun
Summary: 5 Stars
this is THE BEST BOOK to read during pregnancy...I had all the What to Expect series but found this so much easier to read. The Dad tips are a plus and I just saw an revised edition that I picked up to give as a gift that also has different work out moves to do during pregnancy. Book Review: Can't say I like this book
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this book when I found out I was pregnant. Most of the weeks I skip half of what they wrote because its "what could go wrong" and I just don't want that on my mind...you have enough to worry about right? If my pregancy is normal and healthy (which it has been) then I don't want to read a book weekly about what could go wrong. I haven't really found a great pregnancy book that I like so I can't refer you to anything. I love all of the books by the Sears family and would assume that The Pregnancy Book would be a great bet. I will check that out for my next pregnancy. Book Review: boring, don't buy
Summary: 1 Stars
This is the most boring book about pregnancy. I couldn't even read it for more than 10 min, even though I am so eager to know what going on with the baby.Book Review: Not that great
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this book. I did not like the scare tactics, nor did the book offer any details about the symptoms or what you can do to make them better. I only read the part that talks about the babies development and skip the rest, because, I don't need anything more to worry about. I think a good prenatal book should offer answers to common questions, but didn't find any of that in the book and still find myself surfing the internet to get my questions answered. I wouldn't recommend this book.Book Review: Inspires fear in the hearts of new mothers....
Summary: 2 Stars
I wish I had read some of these reviews before I purchased this book. The prospect of a week by week analysis of my pregnancy seemed very appealing. Since this was my first trip down the gestation highway I thought a week by week roadmap would be nice, and it is. But the chapters are peppered with a million things that can go wrong during pregnancy. As previous reviewers pointed out, no statistical data is given to the frequency of such atrocities. I understand the need to educate myself on all facets of pregnancy, including the downsides. But this book goes about it all wrong. For instance in the 13th week chapter the book tells you by this time sex is physically determinable on your baby. Then it goes on to say that if you miscarried now, you could tell the sex of your baby. No...really Sherlock!!! Thanks for that morbid little tidbit, that really helped. I know there are other pregnancy books that get the points across without the morbidity. If you are a firstime worrysome mom like me...Stay away!!
