Product Description

Drawing on the wealth of material on the Mumsnet website, this guide presents the collected wisdom of real parents who have been through it all and survived to pass on their experience to others. There are a lot of guides on the market, but they are usually the thoughts and opinions of a single, usually, expert person. How do you choose between the often contradictory advice of the many experts in the field? The anwser? If you could you would ask other parents what worked for them. Each chapter contains a distillation of the best postings submitted by thousands of the site's users, punctuated by fact boxes, tips and summaries of what the "real" experts have to say.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mums on Pregnancy was fab!, 8 Jan 2005

By	"jfellowes" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mums on Pregnancy: Trade Secrets from the Real Experts (Paperback)

I read Mums on Pregnancy about a month before I was due to give birth after stumbling across it in the local library. I found it to be very interesting and wished I had heard about it earlier as a lot of the content focused on early pregnancy. Even so I couldn't put it down and had read it within an afternoon. I especially enjoyed the chapter aimed at fathers although the hints and tips I gave my DH fell on deaf ears.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it really is, 29 Jun 2004

By	C. Eaton "filitosa" (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mums on Pregnancy: Trade Secrets from the Real Experts (Paperback)

Until I came across this book, I thought Vicki Iovine was the nearest you could get to a "warts and all" pregnancy guide in book form.
Mumsnet is a deservedly popular and successful UK website for parents with a lively Talk section, and lots of the tips and suggestions in the book first appeared on the website. As most of us still can't access the internet while travelling by bus or tucked up in bed with a pint of Gaviscon, I think the book format is not an optional extra, but an essential.
There is so much here to make you laugh and scurry back to revise your Birth Plan! I also think it's helpful if painful reading to have such an honest chapter on what happens when things go wrong in a pregnancy. This bit is usually left out of other baby books.
Since reading the book I've recommended it to three friends. It's as informative as the best pregnancy magazines and much less patronising.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real advice, from women that have been through it, 30 Jun 2004

By	Robin Stevenson (Reading, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mums on Pregnancy: Trade Secrets from the Real Experts (Paperback)

An informative and at times very entertaining account of the diverse experiences that motherhood brings. With contributions from witty and incisive women. The best thing about it is that it draws you to the encyclopedia of knowledge that is potentially available at the website to which all the writwrs have contributed. An invaluable resource.
