What to Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff
informative
3.0
I am a person who likes to have as much information as possible, and in that regard, this book can be very helpful. I do like the amount of detail it contains and the week by week breakdown, and I also appreciate a lot of the biological inclusions that help you wrap your head around what’s actually happening.
That said, I also feel like this book has a good number of flaws. I don’t find it to be overly inclusive, it’s definitely not body positive in any way, and I find it can be overly judgemental. It’s been a solid reference guide for some things but it isn’t my go-to resource. Also if you’re not American, there’s a huge amount that’s irrelevant, there wasn’t much effort at inclusivity for other cultures or nationalities.
