Format: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

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.

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.

I found this book to be an uninspiring read, even depressing at times. While I could admire Ms. Mosse's dazzling array of politically correct topics, I felt that much of it slowed... Read more
