This was a quick and simple book that explained a bunch of the process of the alien podling's development inside of the host female's abdomen.

Um. I mean, the baby's development in the uterus, and the resulting effects on the mother. Definitely covered a list of do's, don'ts, and suggestions. Since I'm a total newb at this, and my partner is not, I've been able to ask her the questions that this book raised.

So, it wasn't complete, but it wasn't written to be. It was a very good introductory book, and prepped me for more in-depth books that are to come.

I'm starting to discover that one can only read so many pregnancy books before they start repeating the same information. Over and over.

There’s no real order to the book which is why I liked it so much. It’s just a bunch of random blurbs about what you could possibly experience during pregnancy. Good for referencing because each section is less than a page. Easy read, straight to the point.

My wife had me read just the section on labor and delivery. The section was concise and to the point. Very informative, but I've already heard most of it due to a birthing class we just took.

A good basic book for pregnant women that covers what the baby's doing, what symptoms might trouble preg. women as they go through terms, etc. Not difficult to get through, it's one of those kinds of books where it's more of a reference than a read.

Short and easy to read, it covers Everything a new mom might want to think about, with room to write my own notes.

I read this sometime in 1997. A quick overview of pregnancy without an overwhelming depth.
