5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent - everything I wanted to know, 7 Jun 2006

By	G. M. Ranson "gillmr" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't let the size of the book put you off - yes it looks like a weighty tome, but it's crammed full of useful information. If, like me, you wanted to know absolutely everything that can happen, this book is worth buying. It's not funny, there are no characterisations or diaries, but it is a good companion - even from before you conceive. I especially like the week by week development of the foetus - lots of books miss great chunks of this, but this covers it all and has photos etc too. I've kept referring to it most nights when I'm in bed! It doen't patronise - which as a health professional, I was grateful for -but it doesn't assume you know loads either, which was reassuring. As with any pregnancy book, reading too far ahead can scare you, so be careful. It does go into a lot of complications and problems - but in my opinion, forewarned is forearmed. I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to know a lot about what's going on inside them during pregnancy - and to those who want to get up to speed before conception. I wouldn't be without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does Exactly What it Says on the Cover!!, 28 Oct 2004

By A Customer

This book really is a Bible. Obviously as I'm planning to start a family I needed to buy 17 books that all say the same thing, which luckily meant I was bound to get one that was good!! This one is more than good, I'd say it was great, it's easy to read and broken down into informative and well researched chapters. I've found some of the books to be a little too overwhelming and sometimes quite dated (Birth & Beyond - Dr. Yehudi Gordon) although very often their not that old. Some books also are very 'alternative therapies' and yoga based which is great to be aware of but if I can't get my feet behind my head now, there's no way I'm gonna be able to do it during pregnancy! This book makes you aware of such therapies and points out the positives and negatives without trying to sway you. Some books I've found can be quite frightening and negative but this one definately has a positive angle as well as informing you of the potential dangers. Complicated medical information is explained thoroughly using diagrams and examples without ever being patronising.
I'd say this book would be useful to all those planning or preparing for a baby, especially first time mothers. Two good good books alongside I'd recommend would be 'The Rough Guide to Pregnancy' - Kaz Cooke, for a great laugh and some good information and 'The Blokes Guide to Pregnancy' - Jon Smith, they say you shouldn't forget your other children when planning for a baby so I thought it best to get my husband a book so he didn't feel left out!! He says it's great and read half of it in the first two days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every pregnant woman should have one., 5 Jan 2007

By	Katie (UK) - See all my reviews

The best book of its kind that we found. It gave us useful and reassuring information about all the practicalities and technicalities as we experienced them (or as we worried about experiencing them). The only thing it doesn't provide is a personal insight into what pregnancy actually feels like, but there are other books for that. To complement Anne Deans' factual manual, I'd recommend Kaz Cooke's diary in The Rough Guide To Pregnancy. And for men, Andrew Cullen's witty From Here To Paternity (The Diary of a Pregnant Man) was my husband's favourite; it's frank and funny, a book that women can enjoy too. In retrospect, these three books would've been enough and we needn't have bothered reading the other fifteen.
