5.0 out of 5 stars The best, most reassuring book I read as a first time mum., 22 May 2000
This review is from: Becoming a Mother (Paperback)
This book is not a manual about how to do your breathing exercises during birth or what to eat etc. Instead it is about how it feels to be going through all the different stages of the pregnancy and then the labour itself. I found it both facinating an re-assuring to know that everyone else was going through the same emotions as me. It takes each stage of the pregnancy seperately and I couldn't wait to get on to the next stage so I could read the next chapter. Much more useful than a whole shelf full of manuals

5.0 out of 5 stars My wife and every other mother loves this book, 26 May 2000
This review is from: Becoming a Mother (Paperback)
A friend gave this book to my wife, who found it the most useful thing she read in her whole pregnancy. Since then, I've bought it for any friend who's become pregnant and they've all loved it. One said she had to ration herself to only a chapter a day as she didn't want to finish it too quickly.

I haven't read it myself, but my wife says Ms Mosse is supposed to be working on an equivalent for fathers. That, I'd read.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book I returned to over and over again in pregnancy, 16 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Becoming a Mother (Paperback)
I bought this book when I was first pregnant and I read it in one go, and then reread it several times. It concentrates on the emotional and social aspcts of pregnancy and includes diary entries and comments from pregnant women and mothers.Far more interesting than a bog standard manual.Itelligent and reassuring,I reccomend this book to all my pregnant pals.
