Customer Reviews

If you catch yourself asking questions at 2am - this is the book for you
I bought a couple of books to read during my pregnancy. This was one of them and I have to say, I am really glad I did. It has everything in it from what to pack in your hospital bag to how to what your growing baby will look like at 28 weeks and everything and anything else. It really is 'the bible'. Excellent for just picking up and having a flick or to go to when you have a real question or worry.

The style of writing is very matter of fact, without being patronising or trying to be your friend which I liked as I wanted a no nonsense book to go along with the other books I'd bought. There is an excellent chapter for new dads and it goes well into birth and the first few weeks of having a baby so I think it will be with me for quite a while.

The only thing I'd have to complain about is the weight of it - leaning it on your bump while you lie in bed reading is not the most comfortable (and baby agrees!) but then, it's probably best not to read about birth or cleft palates or stretch marks just before you go to bed anyway!

A thoroughly good buy - highly recommended.

Brilliant!
A fantastic point of reference. A reassuring and informative book which I have dipped into throughout my pregnancy, and which has never failed to answer my questions.

Fantastic! what an insite into the journey of pregancy!
i bought this book when i fell pregnant with my daughter and i followed her development week by week with the help of the book. it was fascinating and very informative. the other practical advice and information about the pregnancy, birth and after care really helped me prepare mentally and physicly for the months ahead. i strongly recommend it!
