I honestly do not know what I would have done if I did not have this book during my pregnancy. As a certified hypochondriac, this book was perfect for answering all of the little questions I had about the entire process (trust me, I had many). There is definitely a heightened level of anxiety and worry that comes with carrying a child and this book does an awesome job of alleviating many of those worries about what is normal and what isn't normal. My husband was equally impressed with the book and probably read it as often as I did. By the end of our first pregnancy, this book was dog eared, worn, and scribbled with notes throughout. We even brought it with us to the hospital! This book is an absolute must, an invaluable resource, for expectant mothers and fathers and I highly recommend it!
