5.0 out of 5 stars Concise, straightforward with a touch of the personal 9 Sep 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book is a very good review of the current scientific literature concerning mothers-to-be over 35. Although written, by academics, it is by no means a hard technical slog, quite the reverse. I found the inclusion of short case histories brought a personal touch which made the experiences described in the book much more real. It touches on all aspects of impending motherhood, the psychological as well as the physical.

Some books I have read on this subject have been too close to a feminist manifesto or filled with horror stories. The writing here is very positive and contains much reassurance and welcome advice for those of us embarking on motherhood later in life.

2.0 out of 5 stars poor read to say the least. 12 April 2012
By vikcy
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I ordered this book based on how it was presented and was thoroughly disappointed...not only was it too scientific but also the worst guide for a woman over 35 to start for a new baby...it kept showing statistics which to me were useless,kept presenting medical evidence against motherhood conception and labour over 35 and after each chapter kept repeating...REGARDLESS OF ALL THAT WOMEN NOWADAYS CAN CARRY ON HEALTHY PREGNANCIES....
I quickly ordered what to expect when you are expecting and moved on to a precise simple book to encourage my pregnancy which so far...37 weeks today has been perfect despite my 38 years...

I am sorry but this book is NOT suitable for any woman who needs support and any info except statistics and references to other past decades...
A woman trying to perceive above 35 needs a simple read to say that things CAN AND USUALLY go smooth not that things are bad and COULD go well as this book says....

DONT READ.
