Customer Reviews

Good but there are better.
The drawback for this book is it clearly explains almost every possible complication. With the monthly format it is a lot to read at a time. The list of complications and possible symptoms each moth can be very daunting. Yet with all of that the book is also a great resource. It gives you many things to consider that you may never have thought of. It is much more comprehensive than many other pregnancy books. It has some nice charts in the back to help you keep track of weight, size and other notes for the Doctor's or Midwives. It also has a section for coping with pregnancy loss and also preparing for the next child. A good resource for any couple expecting a child. With over 12 Million copies sold this book now, in it's 3rd edition has been trusted by many people. The authors have also written:
What to Expect the First Year
What to Expect the Toddler Years
What to Expect Eating Well When You're Expecting
The What to Expect When You're Expecting Pregnancy Organizer

Really good book
I was given this book by a dear friend of mine and it was invaluable. Every month I would check out what was supposed to happen and what to expect in terms of how big I was getting and what I was feeling. It was reassuring to read that the things I was experiencing actually were supposed to happen! I have lent my book to many other pregnant friends who have also found it indispensable.

An invaluable tool for inexperienced parents
We were well informed throughout the pregnancy and very well prepared for the birth itself... But when the baby arrived, we realised that we were clueless at parenting. This book saved the day (well, it save the whole first year in fact). It is comprehensive (for day-to-day parenting) and covers most of what first-time parents need to know. Very good value-for-money and highly recommended.
