 Best Overall Pregnancy Resource Sep 05, 2000
By Jennifer Waldroup
A one-stop goldmine for new parents! After an extensive survey of pregnancy resources, I was very pleased with the most recent edition of Planning Your Pregnancy & Birth. Coming from one of the nation's top authoritaties on OB/GYN care(ACOG), this handbook is ideal for expectant parents, students, healthcare professionals, or anyone wanting to get solid, current pregnancy details. Easy-to-read, comprehensive - with info. ranging from preconception to postpartum to pregnancy loss - and chocked full of clear illustrations and graphs, this resource contains loads of helpful tips in every section (including checklists) and includes a section on new father issues. Terms with easy-to-understand definitions, more charts, and a fill-in section for you to keep track of your pregnancy, are all included in the back of this book. I also found the smaller size and paperback version (fits easily in most purses & briefcases) to be a handy alternative to many of the larger, bulkier options on the market today. Get this book and you won't need any others!

A great book Sep 22, 2005
By L. Cai
By a friend's recommendation, I bought "what to expect when you are expecting". As she said, this is a "pregnancy bible". But I actually like this book -- "planning your pregnancy and birth" much better.
This book is clear, well-organized, and practical. I have a busy schedule. Also my reading speed is fairly slow since English is not my native language. So I appreciate the conciseness and yet still completeness of "planning ...". On the other hand, "What to expect ..." book has 130 more pages with smaller prints. It's also hard for me to find related topics in "what to expect" book, which according to my very personal opinion, has too much information and has too much useless talk.

Perfect Apr 30, 2004
This book is perfect for expecting moms. It is free of the ideology of the books by Sears and the "what to expect" crowd. Instead, it is a simple, "just the facts" look at pregnancy, birth, and newborn infancy. If you get only one pregnancy book, this is absolutely the one I recommend. It will put your mind at ease.

Better than "what to expect" Apr 26, 2006
By G. Zhu
I got this book and "what to expect..." and the other one was so negative and discouraging that i almost always put it down and it literally drove me to tears a few times. =I found this book to be more useful. This book covers all the essentials and doesn't dwell on all the catastrophes that can strike. It is encouraging, very educational and covered just about every question or concern i had. I don't know why "what to expect" is such a hit but i'm so glad my doctor's office gave out this one instead.
Fantastic book Mar 11, 2010
By K. Hilton
I found this book in perfect condition at a Goodwill while browsing through their maternity section, for an entirely different book, and was immediately attracted to it when I opened it and began to read. I'm almost 7 Months pregnant with my first child and I found it to be a breath of fresh air from the "What to expect..." books.
This book takes you on a tour of your own body, with pictures and concise descriptions of how things work and why, even pre-pregnancy drawings - showing exactly how everything comes together to allow one to get pregnant to begin with.
It covers all of the common symptoms I've experienced as well as some a haven't and even tips and hints on how to prevent the discomfort from continuing (such as heartburn, nausea, loss of breath during routine activities...ect). The drawings and descriptions throughout this book are simple and yet not at all "brushed over".
It's not about hiding the possibility of bad things happening during pregnancy or labor/delivery, or about accentuating them into worrisome ideas that'll keep you up at night; It simply states what all complications are possible, what are common, and what course of action is typically taken to adjust to a rising complication.
I REALLY like how it goes into great detail concerning the different types of pain management available, from breathing techniques to epidurals and types given during c-section. I've run into a lot of pregnancy books trying to find the right one for me but this one REALLY has it all. Even a dummies check-list for 1st timers like me, ppl who have heard to pack & bring a bag to the hospital, but can't think past 3 items what could possibly go into it! I will ABSOLUTELY be getting this book for my best friend when she has her baby and for my cousins who're currently pregnant. Totally worth the $5 I spent on it; I would have spent $30 without batting an eye for how informative and fantastic this book is!
