review 1: Connor and I have been referring to this book for the duration of our Yoda pregnancy. It's scientific yet has lots of pictures and is accessible to the layperson (us!). It also throws in anecdotes, common Qs and As, old wives' tales, and a great glossary and reference guide. As the title suggests, it devotes one page to each day of pregnancy so readers always "know" at least something of what's going on.
review 2: My husband & I look forward to reading this together every night! I especially love the actual ultrasound pictures & the great computer generated images that show what my baby looks like at any given stage. This book informs without overwhelming and very largely refrains from being alarmist. For the most part, the content is excellent and suits ... moremy needs & interests. It has special sections & entries devoted to fathers-to-be, single mothers, families expecting multiples, etc that may be mostly overlooked in many pregnancy books. My one complaint about this book is that it is VERY POORLY EDITED! My husband & I find frequent (like at least once every week or two) word omissions, typographical errors, syntax errors, etc. It's almost to the point where it's become a game to find these mistakes, but at the same time... it's annoying that this big, beautiful, fairly expensive hard-cover book can contain so many errors! less
