sparrowlight's review against another edition
This one is the behemoth, covering all the topics from the mundane -- what should I eat -- to the startling -- I did cocaine before I knew I was pregnant; will that hurt my baby??
Clearly, I live a pretty boring life. This book covers it all but is a little preachy and annoying about the weight gain aspect. I wouldn't recommend this as a cover-to-cover read. I read parts and then set it aside.

This book was very informational and answered any possible question you could have. I referred to it as my pregnancy Bible and always recommend to pregnant friends.

I'll be honest, I didn't read the whole book. I think I made myself a favour. While it has good information in some topics, more than anything it's a bit alarmist and condescending, and in my opinion a bit outdated.
There's gotta be better books, else, there's internet.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this book. It's kind of the old standby with its cheesy sentimental cover, and I expected it to be outdated and less than progressive. However, it's actually quite comprehensive and full of up to date information for a variety of birth scenarios and pregnancy situations. Definitely going to check out What to Expect in the First Year, assuming I actually find any time to read during the first year of my kid's life.
