This book is very well written and very detailed. I read it with my second pregnancy....where was this book when I went through my first pregnancy. So many of the questions I had as a new mom the first time and had asked my family and co-workers, I was told many answers that weren't right.

I gained 45 pounds my first pregnancy and 25 with my second pregnancy and it was due to this wonderful book. It took the guess work out of truly knowing how to be healthy for me and my baby.

I have started giving this book as gifts at baby showers and in reading our local newspaper, I give the book to any family in out neighborhood, or community whom I see needs help. While they may not all read the book, I have the satisfaction of knowing that they have a wonderful resource in their hands.
