From Library Journal
In this month-by-month account of pregnancy's progress, the author addresses pregnancy's impact on such key dimensions of a woman's life as her body, diet, workouts, feelings, and lifestyle, including worklife. Within this framework, she covers a diverse series of common concerns ranging from normal fetal development, prenatal tests, and RH factor to calf cramps, maternity leave, and premature labor. The result is a delight to read, as the material presented is remarkably well organized, thoroughly researched, and presented in a no-nonsense factual manner that never is condescending or oversimplified. Additional readings are suggested. Recommended for popular medical collections.

Reader Reviews
The day I found out I was pregnant, I went shopping and found this book on a shelf with dozens of other pregnancy books. After flipping through several, this is the one I selected. Throughout that pregnancy and my next, friends and relatives gave me several other pregnancy books. I read them all, and they all had good information, but this book remains my favorite. I thought it was the perfect mix of accurate, informative medical facts and personal details from someone who knows what it's like to be pregnant. It was nice to read about the author's experiences here and there, as she'd give her own examples of things she went through. It was a quick, interesting read and it answered all my questions. I've loaned my copy to many expectant friends!
