Amazon.com Review:
Eighteen years after it first hit the shelves and having sold more than 10 million copies, What to Expect When You're Expecting is still on nearly every mother-to-be's reading list. This completely revised and updated edition is packed with answers to hundreds of questions and worries expectant parents may have. The information is presented in a month-by-month format starting with planning a pregnancy and choosing a practitioner, and follows through to six weeks after delivery. Each chapter begins with an explanation of what to expect at a particular month's prenatal visit and a brief description of how mom and baby are growing and changing before getting to the heart of the matter: What You May Be Concerned About. Topics are presented as questions ranging from 'Should I be taking vitamins?' to 'What if I forget everything I learn in childbirth education class?' to 'Will I be able to breastfeed?' The answers are generally reassuring and provide enough information to soothe a worried mom between prenatal visits. Despite the reassuring answers, however, the sheer volume of worries discussed may alarm an otherwise calm mom-to-be.

The book also features a complete nutrition plan (though many women may find it difficult to follow), a special chapter just for expectant dads, and extensive information about dealing with minor illnesses, chronic conditions, and pregnancy complications. What to Expect has guided countless women through their pregnancies and makes an informative addition to the mainstream pregnancy and childbirth bookshelf. --Jennifer Lindsay

- I really enjoyed having everything I needed to know about my pregnancy on my night stand..
I often took this book with me to the rest room and in the bath and found myself reading it on my lunch hour. It's nice to read another woman's perspective on pregnancy. I never had any morning sickness or back aches or similar discomforts and my pregnancy was actually quite uneventful, as was the delivery. But I did have emotional mood swings. I didn't understand why I cried because we didn't get any mail that day or because I couldn't for the life of me remember the last place I put the remote.

But reading this book puts it out there on the table, and when you understand why things are happening it's easier to deal with and control. You make an effort to be nicer and more understanding.

Yes, there are a lot of terrible things that can go wrong, I had the worst night mares about the band-syndrome where the babies lose fingers and toes due to being wrapped up in the amniotic ... Read More
