Book Reviews of The Panic-Free Pregnancy: An OB-GYN Separates Fact from Fiction on Food, Excercise, Travel, Pets, Coffee, Medications and Concerns You Have When You Are Expecting
Book Review: Useful information, but sadly lacking...
Summary: 2 Stars
I thought this book did a pretty good job of separating fact from fiction when it comes to pregnancy concerns. However, I felt that many of the views expressed were a bit cavalier. I also felt that I was being talked "down to" many times, or made to feel foolish for my pregnancy-related fears. The overall tone of the book (as might be expected from the title) is that basically all pregnancies end happily, so just don't worry. Sadly, I know first hand that this is not always true, and I fear this book may foster a false sense of security for many expectant parents. My first pregnancy ended in a stillbirth at 39 weeks, so I am all too aware that tragedies can and do happen. Overall, I think this book might be helpful to someone who is in a first pregnancy, and blissfully ignorant of what COULD happen, but if you are one who has been touched by a real tragedy, this book will be of very little comfort.
