Customer Reviews

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Great
Great information and it gets to the point. I appreciate the unbiased, straight forward info.

Rating:

- best book ever!
The Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy is really well organized so you can find information quickly, the drawings are informative and accurate, and the tone is not dumbed down at all. I looked at reviews of pregnancy books before I bought this one and I'm really glad I did. This book was consistently rated the highest and I totally agree. I haven't felt once like we needed another resource besides this book (and my doctor) to answer our questions.

Rating:

- Best of the Best
I found this book to be an excellent resource and very refreshing after too many books of dated information. This book is very clearly laid out and is broken into several sections covering, month-to-month "waht to expect," then common problems, a great glossery, nutritional information, etc. Everything is easy to understand and simple to reference on a daily basis. Well done. Choose this over "What to Expect When You're Expecting."

Rating:

- Excellent source for information, especially if you are high-risk
I never even considered "what to expect..."-- I'd flipped through friends' copies, and was never impressed with either the style or the information presented.

During my own pregnancy, which was higher risk to begin with but rapidly turned into a high-risk endeavor, this book was a great source to read up and help me formulate questions for my obs & perinatologists.

I do wish it covered more rare conditions in more detail, but with so much other information, there are bound to have been edits. Also wish there was a source that lets the reader know that after amnio, its NOT unsual to spend the next 2 days in bed. I had to have the test, but they should really prepare the parents better for this particular test.

A good source based on solid obstetrics.
