This is an OG baby book that I just had to pick up. I teach college development and everything in this book is stuff I already knew but great for anyone who doesn't. A little dated but it is a classic Apr 07, 2022

This book has some good information for a new mom, but I also found most of it lacking. Overrated, but that's just my opinion. Feb 03, 2021
Sneedville, Tennessee
My ob-gyn gifted me with this wonderful book. I have referenced it through all of my pregnancies. I would recommend it to all expectant mamas. Dec 08, 2020

Plantation , Florida
I was gifted this book while pregnant with my first child. It’s very informative with a lot information for each month. Jul 15, 2020
Dallas, Texas
Good&traditional. My complaint is if you read too much about all the symptoms to come it brings alot of anticipation & anxiety. Almost better to just go through it, then research if problem arises Jul 13, 2020

Conway, Arkansas
I've read this book with both of my pregnancies and it has helped understand what is going on and how I can relieve some of my pains. Feb 20, 2019
Tyler, Texas
I'm a little mixed on this one, I had all of these books and I got them as a set with my first child but as I had my second I realized there wasn't much this book told me that I couldn't figure out! Oct 26, 2018
Madison, Tennessee
Honestly not a fan. Really don't like the structure and it is hard to tell where they are getting their research from. Aug 30, 2018
Woodland , California
Even the most recent editions are outdated and boring. Just download the fun apps like Ovia instead! Would not recommend unless you're getting it for free/used. Jun 26, 2018

This was a wonderful resource while we awaited our first child. Extremely good if you are a FTM. Oct 26, 2017
middletown, New Jersey
There is helpful information in this book, but it felt like this book was explaining to me as if I couldn't comprehend even the basics of pregnancy. This would be great for someone that know nothing Oct 24, 2017

This book was very helpful throughout my pregnancy. It was also good for my husband to reference. Oct 18, 2017
Portsmouth, Rhode Island
If you’re pregnant you need to own any version of this book possible. I would highly recommend the paper back version of this book in oarticular because it is almost a rite of passage these days. ❤️ Oct 10, 2017
Meridian, Idaho
I was in nursing school when I got this, and didn't feel like it had much info I didn't already know. Years later, I think it's more useful. But, there are lots of apps that provide the same info. Oct 04, 2017
