books about: pregnancies     books:       Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy120 reviews Mayo Clinic Collins Living, 2004 great book; just right My wife and I really enjoy this book. It is plainly written in a relaxing and sometimes mildly comical way. The book is basically comprised of two pieces. The part we find most helpful is the survey of what is happening to the mothers body through the duration of the pregnancy. In this regard, the book is a blessing. My wife simply felt weird on many days - and it was great to know that she ...             What to Expect When You're Expecting: 4th Edition48 reviews Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel Workman Publishing Company, 2008 An Easy Read When It's Hard to Concentrate A very easy and quick read for any reader.

As soon as I found out I was pregnant with my 1st child, I wanted to get started on a pregnancy journal right away. I am very happy with this book b/c it's cute (not too frilly or too bland), there's plenty of room to write, it has spaces for pictures (which I am HUGE on) and it gives you topics to write about that you may not think of otherwise. It is broken up into trimesters with sections to ...             The Pregnancy Bible: Your Complete Guide to Pregnancy and Early Parenthood63 reviews Firefly Books, 2008 Excellent guide for new parents We purchased this book for our daughter who is expecting her first baby.

I originally read this book ten years ago when I was pregnant. Being an avid reader, I read EVERY "guide" to pregnancy, childbirth, and child-rearing. Some of these books were so serious and intimidating at times. But, THE GIRLFRIENDS' GUIDE TO PREGNANCY was a lighter and more enjoyable read for me. It was no doubt very informative, but the author put such humor and reality into it, making it ...             The Pregnancy Journal, Revised Edition: A Day-to-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy248 reviews A.

I found this book to be the most valuable of all the pregancy and childbirth books I read during my three pregancies.

I have had three natural childbirths and I owe it all to the advice, empowerment and information found in this book. The ...             40 Weeks +: The Essential Pregnancy Organizer (The Essential Organizers)42 reviews Dani Rasmussen, Antoinette Perez Mango Media, 2006 Loved this organizer! I kept track of everything in this organizer, from OB appointments (including all information on what was covered in the appointment) to important dates on the calendar to contractions to diaper checks to gift lists to items to purchase.

I am a first time mother and I'm still using it often with the ...             The Pregnancy Book: Month-by-Month, Everything You Need to Know From America's Baby Experts98 reviews Martha Sears, William, ... Little, Brown and Company, 1997 Wonderful book- First pregnancy, 25 y/o I agree with the other reviews that say this is better than "What to Expect When You're Expecting"- this book is more concise, speaks directly to the mom-to- be, and is worded in a way that is concise and joyful. It has places for pictures, comments, feelings, tracking your information from your doctor visits for each month, and it breaks down the info for each week. It also has pictures of the ...             The Mother of All Pregnancy Books: The Ultimate Guide to Conception, Birth, and Everything In Between (U.S. ...167 reviews Ann Douglas Wiley, 2002 It really is the mother of all pregrancy books After reading several other pregnancy books, although reading over the same topics, Ann Douglas provides more helpful information.

This book provides excellent questions for interviewing doctors/midwives. She provides ...             The What to Expect Pregnancy Journal & Organizer24 reviews Heidi Murkoff Workman Publishing Company, 2007 the absolute BEST pregnancy book I got - the only one I needed the best book I received (and I got about 5 as gifts)... was the "What to Expect" journal. It has a place for EVERY SINGLE bit of DATA you could ever come across while pregnant... some you wouldn't even think of! Pages to interview doctors, birth plan, places for ultrasound & belly photos, etc. It's been the ONE place that I store everything pregnancy related, and it's small enough to carry ...             The Working Woman's Pregnancy Book (Yale University Press Health & Wellness)11 reviews Marjorie Greenfield Yale University Press, 2008 Fantastic source of information This book is very well done. It reads like a conversation that every pregnant woman would hope to have with her OB/GYN...while the title may lead you to belive it's only about being pregnant in the workplace, it is actually much more broad than that and covers all aspects of pregnancy from pre-conception to after delivery. An excellent resource.             The BabyCenter Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth: Expert Advice and Real-World Wisdom from the Top ...24 reviews Linda J. Murray, Editors of BabyCenter, ... Rodale Books, 2005 So Far So good I really like the fact that they have information week by week about what you and the baby are going through. In addtion they have comments from mother's for each week. A lot of the time these comments are contradictory which helps to illustrate the point that every pregnancy is different and what you are going through is normal for some. I'm in my first trimester and i've read the first 14 ...             Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn: The Complete Guide48 reviews Penny Simkin, Janet Whalley, ... Meadowbrook, 2001 THE Pregnancy book After starting "what to expect" and being told that it was horrible I was given this book by my midwives. It is THE book every pregnant woman should read. It does cover pregancy but not all the scare tactics that you read in the other books that make you paranoid about breathing. I found it very helpful in creating a birthing plan and knowing all the options I had. I didn't have the pregnancy ...             My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy160 reviews Ian Davis Three Rivers Press, 1999 My husband loves!
