The Classic on Pregnancy

My wife and I have used the new edition and the last one as a definitive guide to pregnancy. The experts writing this book have provided the info in a clear and understanding way. It is our bible for our pregnancies.

The Classic on Pregnancy

This is a classic book now in it's fourth edition. I have found it reassuring, informative, simple to understand without any strict point of view. It seems to be basic reading for pregnant couples.

Solid unbiased info

For me, trying to get pregnant, I found this book to have a great overview of lots of topics, nicely balancing between simple explanations & technical talk, starting with info on how to get in shape before pregnancy & how to choose a dr. However, don't be misled by the copy on the back cover that says 'thoroughly revised to incorporate all the latest medical advances...' please note that though this book is available in new book stores, it was in fact published in 1992. This is sometimes noticable in the text, like 'the baby is taken to the nursery, where most of its needs will be met for the next few days.' What insurance plan was that? Keep that in mind if you're really researchin the latest info. Overall? good info & not nearly as depressing as some books that really point out all the problems you could have.
