avesmaria's review against another edition
4.0
This book strikes a (rare) balance between being informative and reasonably reassuring, and skips the condescending stereotyping I find very annoying in other pregnancy books. It's been a good substitute for the wormhole of the internet when paired with my doctor's advice. Covers the whole period from pre-conception health to postpartum recovery; topics in between include genetic testing, fetal development, medication use during pregnancy, and prenatal/perinatal loss.

The best part of this book is that it's a quick and easy reference manual. I particularly liked the charts and lists of pregnancy ailments. That's helpful - especially when you're suffering from one of them and couldn't find it easily in any other pregnancy book!
It's not the week-to-week variety type of book, but still very useful for a quick overview and refresher course!
