What to Expect When You're Expecting, The Book
Filed in archive Pregnancy Tools and Gadgets on October 30, 2007
During my first pregnancy, this was one of the books I've constantly turned to as reference:
What to Expect When You're Expecting is probably on of the highest-sold books on pregnancy (in Amazon, it has already been reviewed by more than a thousand readers. It has received mixed reviews, some saying it's comprehensive and easy to digest, while others found it too alarmist, "raising everything that could possibly go wrong". Personally, I found the book very informative, and delivers what it promises in the title. I would agree though that there were parts that make pregnancy almost like a disease, and if you're the type of person who worry a lot, it may drive you into paranoia (or frequent-than-normal visits to the doc). I would still recommend getting hold of this book, but to not consider it as a pregnancy-bible of sorts.

I love this book and the others in the series. I found it very helpful and have given it as a gift many times to expecting moms.

As an alternative to What to Expect, consider Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn: a complete guide by Simkin et al. It's comprehensive, unbiased, and reassuring.
