Seriously everything you need or want to know is in here. This updated version is fantastic. I call this my pregnancy bible. This is my first pregnancy and this book has answered all my questions.

I found this book very helpful. A lot of the information in other books I have is also in this book. Nearly all of the questions I had about pregnancy were answered in the book.

Like the original book, it is great as a quick reference guide to the most common questions about pregnancy. In addition to the previous edition, it has a section on beauty treatments (aromatherapy, medication, botox, etc.) which is very useful. The month-to-month format is easy to use, and the new baby illustrations are helpful.
Exactly like in the previous editions, you will not find many references in case you want to find out more about a particular problem/topic. Another problem is that the index is not very thorough which makes it difficult to find a particular topic. Although many people will appreciate (most mom's I know do) the simple "only the minimum necessary information" format of this book, I found that it oversimplified many subjects, such as fetal development, workplace safety, etc.
Overall, it is a good book to have around for quick reference, but do not expect it to answer many of your questions in depth.
A great read April 30, 2008

This book is great. I never read the previous editions, but the negative reviews people are giving must be referring to the old edition because there is nothing negative in this book at all. It makes pregnancy feel so exciting and I've only read halfway through it so far. I haven't come across anything in the book that would make me worry. I've laughed out loud tons of times so far because the authors totally get what a pregnant woman is going through and they present it in a funny and friendly way. And it's so comprehensive. Any time I have a question, there's an answer for me. They've thought of it all. I'm not going to even bother with any other pregnancy book. I guess there's a reason why every pregnant woman reads this one!
Greatest Update to Help Pregnant Women April 28, 2008
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
I read the last version of the book and then when I finally got pregnant a couple years later I just bought the update. All my questions, fears, and doubts were almost 95% resolved just by reading this book. Of course each woman's pregnancy is unique, but there are a lot of common factors that all of us women share and this book helped to bring those factors together. Especially for the more...embarrassing moments that some women may feel uncomfortable to share with their OB or even BFF. I strongly recommend this book for people planning to be pregnant or even if you're 6 months pregnant, this book will be a blessing.
