Average Rating:
 Rating: - Excellent source for information, especially if you are high-riskI never even considered "what to expect..."-- I'd flipped through friends' copies, and was never impressed with either the style or the information presented. During my own pregnancy, which was higher risk to begin with but rapidly turned into a high-risk endeavor, this book was a great source to read up and help me formulate questions for my obs & perinatologists. I do wish it covered more rare conditions in more detail, but with so much other information, there are bound ... Read More Rating:  - Waste of money if you have internet accessThe info in this book was always very high-level. If you are like my husband and I, you may find youself visiting websites weekly to read about fetal development. If so, don't bother to buy this book. It NEVER had any more info than I got online!! Even on specific issues such as gestational diabetes screening, the info was never more than the few paragraphs you find on every pregnancy website. So I found it to be a total waste of money & I rarely opened it. Furthermore, DO NOT TAKE ADVICE ...

I blindly stumbled on this book, and I am so relieved! Considering I forgot to ask my friends and family on advice for which books I should purchase and use as my bible, I (thank GOD) didn't buy What to Expect When Expecting, and instead, bought Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy. I guess my primary reason of choosing this book is because its written ... Read More Rating: - The best of its kindThis book is fantastic, and the best of its kind in the genre. Very thorough and updated. I would recommend this a hundred times over What to Expect when you're expecting. Rating: - I LOVE the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy I love, love, love this book! I am currently 11 weeks pregnant and I don't know what I'd do without it. I bought this book and began reading it even before conceiving and I was amazed with the wealth of information it contains. The organization of the book is perfect; instead of just breaking down the baby's development by month (like "What to Expect When You're Expecting"), this book breaks it down by week. Every week, I look forward to reading about my baby's progress (and seeing what he/she looks like!). ... Read More
