Rating: - Great Book...
This book covers everything from conception to bringing baby home to what you need to buy before the baby arrives. I would recommend this book to any mom to be at any stage of their pregnancy. This book also has full color pictures and shows the different stages of your baby week by week.
Rating: - Excellent guide for new parents
We purchased this book for our daughter who is expecting her first baby. The book is very informative. The pictures are wonderful and really show what is happening with her body and how her baby is forming. The new parents have read the book and refer to it regularly. As a librarian, I purchase parenting books for our collection and found this one to be excellent. I recommend it to expectant parents!
Rating: - The best pregnancy book
I bought this book when I was about to become a mother for the first time. I also bought two other books on pregnancy, that are the most recomended. This book is THE BEST BOOK ON PREGNANCY, It is very well organized, it is very informative, it is very descriptiv and ilustrated. In all other books, If you want to read a particular topic, you have to search trough every chapter, but in this one, everything is organized in chapters... One chapter for exercise, one chapter for food, one chapter for sex ... Read More
