Before Your Pregnancy is a breakthrough book for prospective parents—a completely detailed resource that prepares mothers and fathers-to-be to conceive the healthiest baby possible, to make pregnancy and delivery easier, and to foster the mental and physical well-being of their infant child. Created by two experienced health-care professionals, this unique handbook not only discusses virtually every aspect of preconception that affects a healthy baby, it tells you how to handle each one. The authors spell out what each parent needs to do, starting at least ninety days before conception (the minimum time needed for sperm to mature). The hundreds of topics covered—many for the first time in any book—include • Men’s Health: Building healthy sperm before conception (nutrition, fitness, and medical influences) • Women’s Health: Gynecologic well-being, preexisting medical conditions, genetic legacy, boosting fertility, becoming a mother at an older age • Becoming an Informed Patient: Choosing a doctor, what a complete preconception exam includes, important questions and how to ask them, insurance coverage • Nutrition: Improving the health of future generations, preconception meal makeovers, ethnic Food Guide Pyramids, avoiding food-borne illnesses, vitamin and mineral facts, pre-pregnancy body weight • Fitness: Preconception fitness evaluation and exercise prescription, safety tips and motivational anecdotes, preconception strength and flexibility workout • Medications/Herbs: Baby-friendly ones and ones to avoid • Personal Readiness: Emotional, financial, and environmental issues • Romancing the Egg: Tips for success when ready to “start trying” Plus: Separate questionnaires for the prospective parents to fill out in preparation for their preconception medical visit. This warm, intelligent, and completely informed reference gives aspiring parents exactly the knowledge and support they need to insure the best of everything for their child-to-be. |

 Written on May 9, 2006 Summary: Save your money This book was useless. It is a great idea to have a book about getting ready for conception however this book fails to live up to the task. I think my biggest complaint with this book is that the book is dull and really doesn't go into terffic detail about how life changes after a baby. Which is something you should think about before having a baby. It also lacks helpful and practical steps to take before getting pregnant. Topics such as determing gender and pregnacy after 35 aren't even mentioned. Instead the book focuses on diet and being fit. Save your money and sign up for The Conception Bulletin it is very detailed and helpful and it's email monthly.  Written on March 20, 2006 Summary: Loads of info This is the best book I've seen to prepare you for the beginning of pregnancy. I love lists and this book has them - food nutrient content, what vitamins to take and what exercises to do. Money well worth it!!! Written on March 8, 2006 Summary: A 90 Day Guide for Couples on How to Prepare for a Healthy Conception As someone planning on getting pregnant in the future this was a great tool. In particular the diet portion and BMI.  Written on March 6, 2006 Summary: ALMOST DEPRESSING I was excited to find a book about preconception but this particular book was a huge disappointment. It covered the facts- that's it. The material was dry and boring and nothing I haven't read already before. By the time I finally reached the end, still in hopes of something helpful, I got to the actual "conception" part- one slim chapter. Awful!! If you are truly stupid this book may be perfect for you. Huge waste of money. Written on February 18, 2006 Summary: Loved it! This is a great book for those that are looking to starting to have children. It really goes in depth on the different ways both the woman and man can go about preparing their bodies. I thought it did focus a bit to much on the overweight individuals and talking about how they should lose weight before pregnancy, and spent no time addressing those of us who are in shape and what we can do to better prepare our bodies. Overall, I give it an A. |
