Great Buy 18 Feb 2010
Format:Paperback
I have purchased a number of baby books and found the style of this one to be the best by far. The tone is informative without being patronising, you feel like Christine Hill is in the room 'chatting' to you. However this does not mean that the book is not detailed - there is LOTS of information! I found the section on the stages of labour to be the most detailed (yet reassuring) I have read yet. Christine does not appear to have a personal crusade or agenda as so many health care professionals do around this sensitive subject, as a first time mum I have been subjected to a number of 'you must' discussions - from breast feeding workshops to the great benefits of natural birthing in various books. Christine Hills does not preach, but informs you of the things that might happen and then discusses the options you have. A great, fun reassuring read - I just wish I could have her in the room when I give birth!

This is an absolutely brilliant pregnancy guide covering all you need to know about being pregnant. It offers loads of fantastic advice and tips for all the situations you face and find yourself in over 9 months. Unlike other guides I've read, it really focuses on YOU, and your thoughts & feelings & daily life, rather than just objectively telling you about your developing baby. It is informative, amusing, and a really good read. There's also a brilliant chapter for dads, covering all the things they need to know in order to best support you as a mum-to-be!
FANTASTIC BOOK, HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I found this book to be extremely useful and informative! As someone who only moved to the UK 7 years ago I especially appreciated that the advice given was geared towards the UK system, as I'm still learning my way around the NHS. The book is easy to read and clearly set up. The lists of basic supplies and things you'll need to know are especially handy and I know this book will be useful throughout the rest of my pregnancy. The author's tone throughout is very matter of fact and calming (even the sections detailing the labour process, although I still have my doubts and fears about that). I am very pleased that I bought it and would reccomend it to any of my friends.

THE DEFINATIVE PREGNANCY GUIDE
This is the guide that should be included in the pregnancy pack the GP gives us instead of that useless 'Emma's Diary' or whatever it's called. Read more

Very Good Read!
This is one of a long line of books I have bought during my pregnancy. I have to say its one of the more useful books compared to the obvious pregnancy "guides". Read more
