Julia's review
rating:
This is my second read through of this book and still found some helpful tips and insights. I enjoy the question & answer format and the month-by-month guides of what to expect your practitioner to check at each visit and how your baby is changing month-by-month. I also appreciate that the book doesn't end with the birth, but explores newborn care.
I have to be honest, though the What to Expect diet sounds very healthy it isn't very realistic in terms of ingredients used, or prep times. While I realize home-cooked meals are best, there are many times especially this second time around that I have ended up relying on frozen foods. Definitely follows its reputation as the "classic" for pregnant women.
