I received a copy of this book as a gift after I announced my first pregnancy to friends and family. Even though this book was highly praised, I did not find it as informative or enjoyable as others had. The book seems to just gloss over information relevant to the general public and doesn't really dive into the information the way some other books do. I was disappointed with the lack of information in the book for issues that affected me related to bed rest, premature labor, blood pressure issues, and carrying twins.

For a good general read about pregnancy then this book is acceptable. If you want to know more than the basics, I would not recommend it.
