Customer Reviews

Great resource for moms

I didn't expect this book to be as good as it was. It's so detailed about pregnancy weight gain and you can't get that anywhere else. It reassures you that every woman is different but also tells you what kind of weight gain is typical so you have something to measure your weight gain by and can talk sensibly to your doctor if you are concerned; and perhaps avoid any problems later on. I loved the chapter written from the father to be's point of view as well as the author's honest discussion of how pregnancy weight gain was difficult for her and is difficult for every woman who has worried about her weight - which let's face it is most of us. I'd recommend this to any mum to be.

A Must-Read for All Moms

I read this book during my second pregnancy. Now pregnant again, I knew I needed a refresher. I realize that many books and magazines provide pregnancy and postpartum information, but author (and mother) Theresa Francis-Cheung includes quotes from interviews with moms that really tell it like it is - from their worries about weight gain to battling postbaby blues. The most helpful tip for me is a list of "Nutrient-Rich Foods" (Chap 22) designed to help you lose weight postpartum. I made a copy of it and posted it on my fridge. I recommend it to all moms, whether this is your first child or not.
