Book Reviews of The Pregnancy Book: Month-by-Month, Everything You Need to Know From America's Baby Experts
Book Review: Best Pregnancy Book I've Found for Pregnant Moms
Summary: 5 Stars
I just happened to stumble upon this book during my search through hundreds of pregnancy books for the ultimate pregnancy reference guide with a personal touch.Once I discovered that I was pregnant, everyone recommended that I read "What to Expect...," but I really wanted to check out "The Pregnancy Book" too because of all the great reviews I had read, so I read both of them at the same time. It didn't take long before "The Pregnancy Book" became my new favorite reference and "What to Expect..." just became something I read when I'm bored.
Dr. & Mrs. Sears explain just about every possible symptom you could have. (I was so happy to find out that all of my symptoms were actually normal, and I wasn't the med-school case study I thought I was.) The Sears also recognize that every pregnancy is different and explain the many choices you have during pregnancy. Plus, I also noticed that they seem to have faith in the mother's ability to make decisions, unlike many authors who insist that you must follow their instructions exactly or you're a bad mother. They even added a section on what to do if you don't make it to the hospital/birthing center in time and how to deliver your baby yourself if necessary.
If you're looking for information on fertility, specific birthing methods, or taking care of your new child, try taking a look at some of the other, more specific books related to your topic (some are also written by the Sears), but if you're already pregnant or expect to be pregnant, this is a MUST HAVE book (and feel free to skip the "What to Expect..." book because this one really out does it).

Summary of The Pregnancy Book: Month-by-Month, Everything You Need to Know From America's Baby Experts
America's foremost baby and childcare experts tell you what to expect, month by month, from conception through birth In this uniquely authoritative and comprehensive guide, Dr. Bill and Martha Sears, the pediatrics specialists whose books on birth, babies, and parenting have become widely praised bestsellers, team up with one of America's leading obstetricians. The result: the definitive book on pregnancy for expectant parents today. The Pregnancy Book explains what is occurring in the womb step by step, so that you can better appreciate why your body behaves the way it does and why you feel the way you do. The topics covered include: * how your baby is growing, as well as how you may be changing, both physically and emotionally * concerns and questions you may have about tests and technology, genetic counseling, childbirth options, and bonding with your preborn baby * essential information on eating right for two * how to protect the womb environment and recognize potential household hazards * advice on working while pregnant-from informing your boss to dressing for the job * exercising and keeping fit during your pregnancy * selecting a childbirth class * helpful tips on everything from traveling while pregnant to overcoming morning sickness * and much more With a detailed special section on labor and delivery, a glossary of obstetrical terms, and a chapter covering "the tenth month"-postpartum-The Pregnancy Book is an unrivaled source of information, counsel, and comfort for every prospective parent.The Pregnancy Book is an excellent all-in-one guide to pregnancy from William and Martha Sears, creators of the concept of "attachment parenting." Each of the book's chapters represents a month, and deals with physical and emotional changes, describes the growth of the fetus, and discusses common concerns. The authors also focus on nutrition, exercise, information and support for home births and birthing centers, traveling while pregnant, how to avoid episiotomy, and so on. The approach is gentle, thorough, and includes more information than some month-by-month guides, which makes The Pregnancy Book an excellent choice for pregnant couples.
