5Perfect.  Feb 24, 2010
I really have enjoyed this book. I like how its broken down and how they give the information. It's logical and percise. Which is perhaps maybe exactly what one would expect from the Mayo Clinc.

I have loved their graphs, checklists, pictures and weekly breakdowns.

This book has been very informative to my husband and I as we go through the journey of our first prengancy.

I have also really enjoyed. Your Pregnancy Week by Week, 6th Edition (Your Pregnancy Series) which my fave part now is reading about how big I am. And YOU: Having a Baby: The Owner's Manual to a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy which is a little scattered, but is fun and has some great tips, recipes, workouts, etc.

With all of these books I am a Super Star at Fetal Development. Merit badge please.



5Superb  Feb 15, 2010
A masterpiece of information about pregnancy from one of the most authoritative sources possible. Another terrific book from the Mayo Clinic!

4So Much Information  Feb 15, 2010
There's so much information you get overloaded. This book has everything. But its a bit overwhelming for me. I ended up using it more as a reference guide. My main pregnancy book I used was 'Your Pregnancy Week by Week'. I'm not a big reader so this suited me well, I could just read each week as my pregnancy progressed. It had all the same information as the other pregnancy books, but in a more organized fashion.

5Great Book!  Feb 11, 2010
I LOVE this book! I ordered it when we first started trying for a baby, and it has been an invaluable resource. I'm now 8 weeks pregnant and I have found the information to be both accurate and timely. My husband really likes the book because it is medically based and very scientific - as opposed to the new-age books with all their 'god knew what she was doing when she created you' mumbo jumbo. The book has lots of great information - checklists before the baby comes, questions to ask your doctor, tips on choosing a health care provider, and even answers to oddball medical questions about the safety of hair dye, tanning beds, pain relievers, etc. I would highly recommend this book, it's a great resource for anyone who's expecting!

5Great information, great tone  Feb 06, 2010
My wife and I purchased and received many pregnancy books. This book is our favorite. It is simplistic, straight forward, and evidence based. My mother is 15 year childbirth educator and lactation consultant and she could not put this book down. She loved the tone and information. Start with this book for your pregnancy book library.
