When my best friend was pregnant she was given this book as a gift and I found it to be so useful, but also amazing to see how the baby grew on a week by week basis. As soon as I found out I was pregnant this was the first purchase I made. It gives such good advice and also helps to answer any questions you may have, such as what can I and can't I eat. It was also wonderful for my husband to read and get involved, seeing how our baby developed over the weeks. I would recommend this book to any expectant mother.
