Best Advice--Great OB!

It's great that finally an OB shares their personal experience! We all have so many questions---first, second, and with all our pregnancies! That book stayed by my bedside throughout my whole second pregnancy. With my first pregnancy, I had her PERSONAL one on one advice as she delivered my first child! Unfortunately, we moved out of state for our second and how I missed Dr. Brasner! But, every bit of advice was there just by picking up this wonderful book! I highly recommend this! Makes a great gift as well!

A pregnancy book that won't freak you out!

I read this book and finally felt comfortable about being pregnant. I read the "week by week" book three months ago and half the book must have been of what could go wrong. This is an informative yet fun book to read. My best friend is trying to have a baby, and I'm definately going to give her this book to read and warn her to stay away from the "week by week" book.

A great book for expectant mothers AND fathers!

I loved this book. I found it informative and reassuring. I just wish my own wonderful obgyn had told me to have a glass of wine after my amnio! My husband particularly liked this book - it's the only pregnancy book he's read voluntarily. Another book, which shall remain unnamed here, scared him. This book is as good as being able to ask your obgyn questions 24/7!

Wonderful book -- very informative and sane

Finally, a detailed and informative pregnancy book written for the rest of us. Avoids the total guilt trip of the "What to Expect" books with sane and moderate advice. I would still recommend buying "What to expect" for its detail, but read this one first.

This is a terrific, informative, easy to read book!

I am expecting my first child. This is my favorite book. It provides important information and OPINIONS! The other books that I have give facts and figures without any advice. This book gives you a doctor's opinion and the reasons behind it. Every chapter that I read puts my mind at ease. I can sleep easier knowing that it is alright not to analize every bit of food that I put into my mouth. That is not to say this book condones poor eating habits, but it assures the reader that a sensible diet with a little extra planning will provide the growing fetus with what it needs. I highly recommend this book!
