Customer Reviews

Highly recommended for first pregnancies.
I am in my third trimester and I find this book immensely comforting. This is my first pregnancy and I am sure I am like other women who have a million 'silly' questions but are too shy to call their doctor or midwife every 2 days. This book has answered all my fears, some of them so trivial but still worrying to a first time mother. It has separate chapters on each month and details the changes our bodies go through. It offers insight on the different relaxation methods available for childbirth. It taught me how to sit and sleep more comfortably in these last months.

I recommend this book to any woman in her first pregnancy.

what to expect
Out of the dozen pregnancy books I had, this was the one I found the best and most helpful. It had the answers to all my questions in each month (is this aching feeling normal? why are my legs crampy? and so on). It really helped me not to panic. I read the part on true and false labor symptoms almost every evening at the finish, but at least I had no doubt when the time has come.

Helpful, straightforward advice
I'm expecting my first baby and this is by far the best pregnancy book I've come across. Very straightforward, down to earth advice right from the start.
