I wanted to know more! This is thorough and easy to read. I don't have kids, but wanted to know more about how they develop and are delivered. Easily read within a week.

I really enjoyed this book. Very informative and helpful overall; my only complaint is that I wish there was another updated version for 2020 onwards!

This is a great book - It is like a medical book but for the average person. This is my #1 recommendation for maternity books.
