We're Pregnant!

Summary: dont buy
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed We're Pregnant!. The couple who wrote the book are obviously real people who have a great relationship and looked forward to being parents. They candidly describe their thoughts, feelings and concerns during their pregnancy and include a lot of factual information about the pregnancy and birth process too. Many of the issues they discuss - such as raging hormones, the physical changes she is experiencing and the changes in their relationship - were exactly the same things my husband and I were dealing with during our pregnancy. We read the book together and both felt as though we were talking to our best friends about their pregnancy experience. I wish this couple live next door because now that our baby is here, I have a lot more questions I would like to ask them! We're Pregnant's story format is enjoyable and entertaining. I highly recommend this book to all expectant parents as well as those who have already had children or are thinking about starting a family. Thumbs up for We're Pregnant!

Summary: Touching and personal
Review: I was so grateful to come upon "We're Pregnant!" First I devoured the personal and heart-felt words of Cindy and Eugene Kappler, and now my husband is reading the book. This is the first pregnancy book that I have been able to get him to read, and he is fascinated, both by Cindy's descriptions of how she feels, but also by Eugene's descriptions of how he felt and reacted to Cindy's first pregnancy and birth. By the time Cindy describes her labor and delivery of her daughter, you feel like you know the Kapplers personally. I love their open and honest approach and their conversational writing style. This is not a big, scary pregnancy book filled with all the details on every possible thing that could go wrong. There are technical facts, but they are only included to help the reader understand what was happening to Cindy and Eugene. I have read way too many books on pregnancy that have left me terrified, and this is the first one that left me feeling like everything was going to work out, and I will be able to handle labor and delivery. I am also glad that I discovered this book before my pregnacny, and now I plan to re-read it as I reach each new milestone in the next nine months.

Summary: Not bad....
Review: I would definitely recommend this book to women who have no close family or friends who can tell them what to expect. Otherwise, it's nothing new. In fact, I found myself irritated with the author several times...such as when she allowed her OB/GYN to continuing insulting her about her weight gain...when she complained of headaches but wouldn't take harmless pain relievers, etc. I did enjoy her husband's insights and wished he would have written more. I have to admit I did tear up a few times before the end...but that could just be the hormones.

Summary: So-so
Review: It's always nice to see what other women have gone through, and the author is quite honest and straighforward about her experiences. But what the book really needs is authiors who have a littel more personal depth as well as writing ability. This couple sounds nice enough but not exactly rocket scientists or world-class writers. I was left wanting more of her thoughrs and feelings, fleshed-out family members, etc. Generally I found the book nice enough but too short and very superficial.

Summary: This book is a friend - indeed
Review: This book is quick and easy to read, and gives so much. It's like going through a pregancy with your best friend, who is just a little ahead of you. I would have loved to have this book when I was pregnant, and was desperate to get my hands on anything I could to guide me through these uncharted waters. Now, having been through the experience, I could relate to so much about what the authors went through. I even laughed out loud at parts. Although, as Cindy states, every pregnancy is unique, any expecting couple can relate to the emotional highs and lows of a first pregnancy, and the intimite journey of this couple. If you are expecting, I highly recommend this book. If you know anyone having a baby, it's a wonderful gift that they will definitely appreciate.
