Professional Review:
The ultimate guide to conception, birth, and everything in between.

Unlike all those otherbossy, tell-you-what-to-do titles, this funny, entertaining guide presents expectant parents with all the facts on such perennial hot topics as pain relief during labor, episiotomy, and circumcision, and empowers them to make informed personal choices. It's packed with tools you won't find anywhere else, including:

  • Charts highlighting the risks of using various over-the-counter drug productsduring pregnancy
  • Lists of the ten best -- and worst --baby products
  • A set of emergency childbirth procedures
  • Forthright discussions of difficult topics like infertility, high-risk pregnancy, and pregnancy and infant loss that other books are loathe to tackle

User Reviews:
 Rating 4   Written on January 14, 2008
   Summary: Informative
This book is very informative. It has good material and answers quite a few questions. It would be nice if it had a more detailed section about the progression of your pregnancy though. But overall a good read.

 Rating 5   Written on January 11, 2008
   Summary: Perfect antidote for too much "What to Expect"
When you're tired of being preached at by "What to Expect When You're Expecting" or you really need to hear from a relaxed mom who's been there, pick this book up! This book is also invaluable for any couple struggling to get pregnant because there is a whole section on conception, fertility charting, knowing your cycle, and when to see if there is a problem. It's like getting advice from a good friend instead of the nurse at your doctor's office.

   Summary: Good info, but not the best...
This has been a decent resource, but not my favorite of the two books I have been reading. I am 21 weeks along in my first pregnancy and I bought this book when I became pregnant. The first 130 pages or so are about trying to conceive, which is great for those looking for that info. For me it didn't apply. Also, this book does NOT have a break down of the developmental stages and what goes on during the pregnancy. It discusses what you will want to do to during your pregnancy, concerns you might have, complications that can arise, prenatal testing, and giving birth. All great info but I also wanted to know what was going on with my growing baby and my body. I recommend this book along with "Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy" from the Mayo Clinic, that has been my go to book. Between these two books, I have a lot of great info which has been a big help.

   Summary: Wonderful Book all around!

The Mother of All Pregnancy Books: The Ultimate Guide Is a wonderful book. This is a book that you will actually WANT to read. It truly is and enjoyable book, and that isn't something that is said about most informative conception, pregnancy, and birthing books. The information provided is very easy to understand, funny at times as well as professional. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get pregnant, is pregnant, or parents all ready. They have included fathers in this book as well. I have read many books on pregnancy and conception and by far find this one to be the most useful and easy to read. While they do provide you with the medical terms, they break it down so that you don't need to sit there with a dictionary while you are reading it.

   Summary: Lots of info, but not in depth
This was the first pregnancy book I bought. I thought it had a lot of info, but was not what I was looking for. I will keep it around as a quick reference...
