I loved this book. I read it everyday while I was pregnant. Any weird feelings I had I would run to the book to see what it might be. This book is perfect for first time moms who need to be talked through every step of the way.

Did not like this book - neither the info nor the writing style. Try the Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy instead.

    Not recommend for anyone.
    This book won't help you is not going to give you much information. Most of the things here you may already know from school which is pretty much nothing, cero information. Not recommend. There are better books like Lamaze for example. This one is full of formalism and is not going to inform you. They should not sell this book.

    What to Expect When You're Expecting…
    What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff ★★★ This book has been around for an astounding 28 years (and have been through several revisions) and is known for many as a staple in the genre – in fact it was the first book I thought of when I found out I was pregnant. This book has a lot of good information – but a lot for me to skip over. I'm not having multiples (thank goodness), I'm not over 35, etc but obviously it's a good overview for people of all ages and all types so it's good info to have, even if I didn't need it. Some of the sections made me roll my eyes, such as “What if I am taking cocaine or other hard drugs while pregnant?” 1 – If you don't know the answer, you probably should not be pregnant and 2 – I have a feeling those that are into hardcore drugs probably aren't too antsy to buy this book, probably not the top of their priorities (I could be wrong in my assumptions, but come on), but hey whatever, can't say the book doesn't cover it's bases. With the use of internet today many of the questions and concerns can be found just as quickly on one of the thousands of pregnancy sites as it is to sift through this book. And of course, never take a book as the know-all of everything, always best to consult a doctor with any serious questions – telling your doctor “well the book said…” will only lead to eye rolling. An informational book but best taken in small chunks.

    This is a great book for first and second time moms. It offers enough information that you can read it many times and glean something new each time.

    Highly recommend for every Mom-to-be !!
    This newest addition has a lot more information than past ones. Every mom to be needs this book. Helps explain so much more than what is going on monthly.

    This book is all you will need! Covers ever stage of pregnancy through delivery. I purchased it for my daughter in law because I used the same book and always knew exactly what to expect

    I didn't like the format of this book. Something's I found interesting and helpful but mostly I found it uninformative. I also found it more negative. There is a lot more on problems and things going wrong than the positive side of pregnancy. I would not make this the one and only pregnancy book you would read.

    This book is a good start for general conception/pregnancy knowledge. Although, having read through it, I find I have even more questions now. The book is organized in a busy manor. It tries to cover everything and doesn't go into a lot of detail because there's so much to cover. But, it is a good way to get your feet wet on the subject. I'm not currently expecting, but several of my friends are, so I was curious.
