| daventray's Full Review: Arlene Eisenberg, Sandee E. Hathaway, Heidi Eisenb... |
During my pregnancy I experienced many strange symptoms that I hadn't been told about by other mothers around me. I started to get a little worried and mentioned something to my doctor. She recommended "What to expect when you're expecting" which her office just happened to hand out to all first time mothers. I graciously took the book home and read up to my month of pregnancy. Everything was broken down into terms I could easily understand and all my weird symptoms were explained in detail. As I have read in some of the other reviews on this book I definitely agree that you could consider this book a pregnancy bible very easily!
Month by month would pass and the day I would go into a new month I would break out "What to expect when you're expecting" and read about everything that could, would or should happen during that month. In the beginning of each chapter the author explains briefly the development that your baby was going through and how your pregnant body may appear. There is a section on diet, which gives some really good recipes that use common ingredients you would have in the house.
I found this book was very educational and very informative to me as I went through my pregnancy. Being a little scared of labor and delivery, I read that section several times over and over. This book covers emergency delivery procedures that seemed very easy to understand and also a section at the end of it on Fathers, since they are expecting too! "What to expect when you're expecting" gave me such a firm base to build on and made me feel confident that I would survive!
This books only down fall is that it does go into problems that may arise in all stages of pregnancy and their symptoms. If you're careful when reading this book and carry an open mind that not all of these things happen to everyone it is a great book!
