I wouldn't really recommend this book to anybody. If it's the FIRST book you read on the topic, you can probably learn some valuable information, but Dr. Miriam Stoppard clearly wrote this book with her own opinions, assumptions, and agenda in mind. Instead of just giving clear-cut info that a mom-to-be could read and make their own decision on, there's a lot of "You'll feel this way" and "You'll want to do this" that I found quite pushy and irritating.

If this book is correct....shyte half of the population would not be here!
A good friend gave me this book shortly after I learned I was expecting. I've really appreciated it. It's an easy read with lots of bullet points and pictures, but there's good solid data in it - always presented in an upbeat, non-scary manner. As the big day draws nigh I've derived some comfort from reading the latter chapters about labor and delivery.
A wonderful month-by-month guide to pregnancy. I used it as a guiding and comforting resource through each of my five pregnancies. The cover of my book is different, but the author is the same. In my copy there is a lot of nudity which is factual and informative, but in my view makes it neccessary to keep it away from my children and my husband.
Brief and valuable information about all kinds of changes that meet a woman during her pregnancy and first weeks after the baby's birth. The book focuses on women and their bodily and emotional aspects that pregnancy brings along, however, it does not forget to mention men and how they feel about all changes that their partner experiences.
this is a good pregnancy book. because it covers so much (from conception through the newborn phase), the treatment of some topics is somewhat light. but it does have lots of good information and a pro-women tone. i especially like the fact that it is balanced (in terms of medical/natural birth philosophies).
It's got great pictures (even a picture of a woman giving birth to a breech baby)! Jordan studied this book intently during my pregnancy with Leah - must have been why she wasn't grossed out at watching her being born. ;)
Everyone in this book is wearing clothes so hideous that I cannot take in any of the information. Too many pictures of men with bad hair caressing the stomachs of women in smock tops. Count me out.
This one is pretty good. Lots of info and pictures.
