Helpful and fun

I really enjoyed reading this book and could not put it down. It's very matter of fact, really reflected what I was going through, and the writing is engaging and funny. The one reservation I have is about relying on it for medical advice. For example, Iovine recommends not exercising - I sure haven't heard that from any doctor! All the medical advice says otherwise. So, buy this book, but buy another one for medical advice.

This book was condescending in it's tone - "Don't worry your pretty little head about it! Get a c-section, it's easier to schedule your birth!"

A c-section is MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY, and should never be discussed as an option for anyone unless there is a medical indication.

It also included such gems as "dressing up for your Obstetrician, even when you don't care what your husband thinks of you anymore", and the "watermelon diet".

Stay away from this one if you're looking for factual information on pregnancy and childbirth.
