This book was my bible 2 of the 3 times I was expecting. Every topic you could possibly imagine (and bunches that never would have even occurred to me!) were touched upon in a matter-of-fact approach. Dozens of things I wanted to know but for whatever reason was afraid (or embarrassed?) to discuss with my doctor, my husband, or even my girlfriends were gone over with dignity and humor. An absolute must have at the bedside, in the purse, and all the way to the labor room of any expecting mom, dad, or couple! The author takes great care to include Dad in the process of expecting a child, making it very clear that he DOES play a very important role in this experience. Updated often, this book is kept up to date and relevant. By far the most comprehensive and complete guide to everything pregnancy related.
