The essential pregancy book.

I actually have the 2nd edition of this book, but I know this one is just as good. Dr. Greenfield tells it like it is. Everything you ever needed to know is in this book. Furthermore, it's written in a way that even your husband will sit down and read it! I loved it and attribute the wonderful, active, beautiful, daughter I have to all the things I learned in this book!

Dr. Spock's Pregnancy Guide

As a young woman who hopes to become pregnant in the near future, I found this book to be extremely informative. It is organized in such a way that the information is easy to find and understand. I found the advice to be relevant and practical. I particularly enjoyed the "Parent - "Parent excerpts which contain quotes from parents relating to each chapter. I intend to use this book as my guide if I am lucky enough to experience the miracle of pregnancy & childbirth.

Great Pregnancy Reference Guide

Dr. Greenfield's book is a handy, easy-to-read pregnancy guide that answered all my pregnancy questions. I referenced it many times throughout my pregnancy and would recommend it to any first-time mom.

A MUST HAVE!
