Customer Reviews

This should be the number one pregnancy book!

I found Pregnancy to Parenthood "by accident" in the book store. When I got it home and started reading it, I couldn't believe how wonderful and informative it is. I have to agree with the reviewer who said she'd trade all her pregnancy books for just this one. It gave me more birth information than any of the others. And it is so clear and understandable. Now that my baby is 6 months old, it is still the one I refer to for guidance. The breastfeeding information is the best--so supportive. You can tell that these writers have "been there." I love the great photos and the cartoons too. If you are pregnant, get this one FIRST--you won't need any others!

Very, Very helpful

I got this book beacuse I couldn't find what to Expect when your Expecting and I love it!! It is very helpful. I then got WTE and found that PTP had better information in most places. This book has more Medical information. I found that the other book said See your doctor or try the diet way to often. I would reccommend this book to anyone. I particularly liked the area that talks about how the baby is growing and what is happining to her/him.

I'd trade all my pregnancy books for just this one!!

Wonderful, informative, confidence builder for first time mothers. More information than a lamaze class. Helps with pregnancy, birth and parenthood decisions from every aspect of pregnancy, birth to parenthood.

The perfect pregnancy book!

I loved this book for many reasons. It was just the right tone. It was not too technical, but not so elementary it was written in question/answer format. The authors gave information regarding various types of birthing methods, and not just the mainstream information. I was especially impressed with the breastfeeding information. Most of the pregnancy books I read just sped over this very important topic, not really emphasizing the importance of breastfeeding.Finally, I loved the "your pregnancy is your responsibility" approach.

More thorough information on the subject than any other book

I read this book cover to cover during my first time pregnancy and it gave me more information in one source than any other book I read...and I read quite a few. For example, this book has information on Lysteria, a bacteria recently discovered to cause miscarriage - there are new FDA warnings out there. I hadn't seen it any where else! This information may have saved my baby since I frequently eat the foods at risk. Any question I had - including how to get my 10 year old dog ready for my new baby's arrival - was in there! DON'T WASTE MONEY ON ANY OTHER BOOK! THIS ONE HAS IT ALL! Information is factual and not biased. It helped me make educated decisions about my pregnancy and care of my new baby and I WAS NOT SCARED AT ALL while giving birth - I knew what was happening!
