5.0 out of 5 stars Not bad at all!, 2 April 2008
This review is from: What to Expect When You'RE Expecting (Paperback)
This seems to be the number one "go to" pregnancy book every devised and I have to say, I was blown away with all the great info it contained. It goes month by month and really has tons of great, useful (I thought) advice. It's almost like a standard, or something. I also liked and would recommend another pregnancy book which was a bit lighter than this one, called You Know You're Pregnant When. Reflections on the Longest Nine Months of My Life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than ringing the doctor with every scare., 7 Nov 2000
By A Customer
In common with several other reviewers I found the dietary advice rather alarming and so opted not to read the 'Best Odds diet' but use the government advice instead.I all other respects I found this book great, it saved me ringing the doctor or midwife with every panic and gave me a much clearer view of what to expect from my ante-natal appointments. I liked the fact that it faced the possibility that the pregnancy might end unhappily it was helpful as my husband had previously experienced the still-birth of a son. Simply I found this a book that I turned to over and over again with my pregnancy worries and found calm, factual and reassuring answers to my questions. I heartily recommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good for specific problems, but very negative.., 18 Oct 2001
By A Customer
As a mother to be, I found this book very helpful if I needed to look up a specific symptom, but not to read through. I found that it was very negatively written, and I actually found myself imagining symptoms and issues after reading it, which turned out to be nothing. A good book for specific references (as you might use an encyclopedia), but I wouldn't recommend buying it to read right through.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ideal book for an expectant mother!
This is the ideal book for any expectant mother. Cover everything and calms every rational and irational fear.
Published 3 months ago by Ms. F. A. Burnett

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so good
I bought this book after having looked at it the book shop for 3 months, not daring to buy it until after my first scan! After waiting all that time I was disappointed. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars OK but terribly American and doctor-knows-best
I wish I hadn't bought this book. It has a lot of information, but
it's hard to sort out what's widely agreed on and what's just the
opinion of the book's authors. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars The one book to refer to all the way through your pregnancy

3.0 out of 5 stars Preachy
I found this book to be extremely unrealistic and preachy in terms of what to eat when pregnant. Some of the month-by-month Q&A were informative, but often repetitious. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Dubious dietary advice.
There is no mention in this book that soft and unpasteurized cheeses should be avoided. Indeed the 'best odds diet' actually recommends camembert and parmesan cheese. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of info - not all of it accurate or helpful
Answers to most of your questions about pregnancy can be found in this book - but the authors are fairly conservative and appear not to be up to date with modern, progressive... Read more
