A Terrific Surprise!
10 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
I recently received this book as a "New Pregnancy" gift from my neighbor. When I looked at the cutesy pink cover and the drawing I thought, this has to be a frivolous book and I didn't even open it. But when I developed a pregnancy complication and none of my other books had any information on it, I decided to give this book a try - and BOY! was I ever glad I did! It turned out to have exactly the information I needed. The more I read the more I realized that this book is FANTASTIC - filled with such great health information on things you don't find in other pregnancy books. Plus it has some terrific beauty and fashion advice to boot! Now it's become my "bedside Bible" - and a day doesn't go by when I don't consult it for something! This is my first pregnancy and this book was so easy to read and understand and SO upbeat and positive - it's just a joy to read. If you are looking for a book that takes an intelligent approach to "mommy-care" without being complicated or hard to understand, this is YOUR pregnancy book. A terrific surprise - I just love it!

Mommy-sential reading!
21 Feb 2004
Format:Paperback
If you're looking for a pregnancy book that is candid and honest without being frightening, then this is the book for you! In this book Bouchez covers the standard things that usually show up in pregnancy guides, such as physical,mental and emotional changes; nutrition and exercise. However, what makes the book is made very clear in the title: how to pamper yourself as you nurture the new life growing inside of you. She doesn't just emphasize the importance of taking good care of yourself, but she offers wonderful suggestions on how to do it. For example, there are directions on how to create your own prenatal spa (and without spending much, if any, money). Browse through the chapter on the "Glow Factor" and choose a recipe for treating different types of skin conditions that arise during pregnancy (overly dry skin,sallow looking skin, etc)- she also includes tips and tricks for treating common pregancy discomforts such as nausea and insomnia that I'd never heard of before (aromatherapy!!). Added bonus, she includes homemade recipes for the aromatherapy solutions as well. In a nutshell, if you want a comprehensive book on the many changes you will encounter, as well as suggestions beyond "get plenty of rest" for taking care of yourself, buy this book!

Best book on pregnancy health and beauty
31 Aug 2004
Format:Paperback
Colette Bouchez' publisher didn't do her any favors with the title they assigned to this book. The title makes it sounds like this is a fluffy book when, in fact, it does a great job of discussing a range of important health and beauty topics that many moms-to-be worry a lot about during pregnancy: sex, skincare, weight gain, fitness, and so on. Definitely worth the money.
