Book Reviews of Your Pregnancy Week by Week (Your Pregnancy Series)
Book Review: Dont' buy this book if you're in your first pregnancy!
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this book because it was the thickest book in the store's pregnancy section, and I am an information junkie. This is my first pregnancy, so the week by week analysis was very appealing to me. While this book is helpful in the drawings of the fetus week by week, and nutrition information, I am now scared out of my wits! I lay awake at night fretting about everything that can go wrong. As others have posted, this book focuses on all the bad things that can happen, with very little information for a normal, healthy pregnancy. The information that is in there is poorly organized, and it as it turns out, the book is so thick because it repeats itself frequently. I am already on the lookout for a new book because I am tired, and I need some sleep. Plus my husband is tired of me getting up at one in the morning to google whatever new health scare I have after reading the next chapter.Book Review: great book!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book for a new mom! It's concise and very helpful to carry you along this beautiful time. Every week is full of new information and it is presented in format that is interesting and easy to follow. Book Review: Very medical model
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book to be a good primer on the basics, but it is definitely written from the perspective of a physician. There is very little mention of the wide array of choices women have when it comes to care providers and methods of coping with labor pain (midwives, doulas). It is a book that describes the typical 'cookie cutter' protocol of OB care, and leaves much to be desired for women wishing to be informed of all the options available to them. Very disappointing.Book Review: Talk about negative!
Summary: 2 Stars
This book should be called "You're Pregnancy Week by Week: all of the things that can go horribly wrong and kill you" From the very first page, this book is full of scenarios that will terrify you. I'm getting my money back for this little gem. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it has nice illustrations.Book Review: This is THE book to get you through pregnancy!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book! I read it during my first pregnancy and I loved it! Now I'm in my second pregnancy 5 years later and I'm reading it again! It's so much better than What to Expect. This book takes you through each week of pregnancy, gives you illustrations of the baby, tells you what your body and baby are going through, gives nutritional tips, tells you about all the tests and possible complications of pregnancy, and so much more! This book and The Girlfriends' Guide are the only two books any pregnant woman needs to get her through pregnancy. I ended up donating all my other books to goodwill.
