 Very informative-not my favorite though March 31, 2005

I really liked this book and I think it is a wonderful reference tool. I am glad I had the book on hand. However, my favorite book during pregnancy was "Pregnancy Week By Week". I think it went more into detail as each week passed. And being a first time mom, I wanted to know every detail that was going on developmentally with my baby.
 Finally...A book for First timers and repeat moms!!! January 11, 2005

I am in my 3rd pregnancy, and bought the tried and true copy of 'What to expect when you're expecting.' Boy..was I dissapointed. It was so basic, missing so much info I wanted. AFter some research I heard about this book and went to take a look at my local store. All I can say is...WOW WOW WOW. It's not only a monthly guide to your body, emotions and baby..but a weekly. There is so much wonderful information..everything from snoring to in depth analysis of birth control for after delivery. They have a great section on dealing with depression before, during and after pregnancy. NOT JUST BABY BLUES. I was so impressed. I'd never read such great and easy to understand material. They have a huge reference guide for all the little and not so little aches and pains in pregnancy. Each month has a 'how soon to call your doctor' section for possible problems. It was nice that it didn't spend the whole time speaking only about working moms and prenancy (although it is covered) or insult my intelligence as a repeat mother. I highly recommend this to repeat and new moms alike. You will be so much more prepared than with the others I've read.

This book answered any question I ever had while pregnant. I bought other books and was disappointed. This is the only book you need.

This is a very factual and accurate pregnancy reference book -- the kind of book you want to turn to if you have a specific medical question or concern. It is similar in style to The Unofficial Guide to Having a Baby by John Sussman and Ann Douglas and Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth by Miriam Stoppard. The tone is slightly more medical than the other two books, but the book is still highly readable and will be welcomed as a gift by many expectant couples.
Mayo Clinic Healthy Pregnancy Guide Is A Great Resource July 29, 2004

I recieved a copy of the Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy half-way through my second pregnancy. I wish I'd had it the first time around! The book is divided into 4 helpful sections: Pregnancy, Childbirth and Your Newborn; Decision Guides for Pregnancy, Childbirth and Parenthood; Pregnancy Reference Guide; and Complications of Pregnancy and Childbirth. I liked how the first section described the baby's growth by month thereby clumping weeks together, which seemed to make more sense than a week by week development. At the end of each chapter/month there is a guide listing troublesome signs and symptoms and when to call your doctor. The Decision Guide section is unique to any of the pregnancy books I have, and I appreciated the thorough treatment of the subjects. Any question I had seemed well covered in the Pregnancy Reference Guide. I also appreciated the glossary at the end of the book. I'd definitely recommend adding this to your pregancy/childbirth library.
