Summary: A Celebration of Pregnancy
Review: "There's one thing I can guarantee: The second your baby is born, your relationship takes on new dimensions. You and your partner grow even closer if you take time out, with minimum interruption, to bond with our baby. The first weeks, days, months, perhaps more than any time, are very special indeed - and the bonding you do now with each other and your baby will set the seal for the rest of your life." ~ Miram StoppardDr. Miriam Stoppard is one of my favorite authors because she is obsessed with detail. She knows how to collect the information on pregnancy and childcare and how to present it in a lovely way that will encourage you to absorb the details and enjoy the reading process. If you are thinking about getting pregnant or are already finding yourself full of questions about your new pregnancy, this is one of the books I can highly recommend. You will laugh along with the author when reading "Am I pregnant?" You might be asking questions like: Should I keep my pregnancy a secret?
How do I deal with unsolicited advice?
Doctor or Midwife?
Am I too old for this?
What happens on the second time around?
What should I eat/not eat?
How much weight is ok to gain?
Can I still work out?
Can I still dye my hair?
How will my sex life be affected?
What is Prenatal testing all about?
What is going to happen to my body after the birth?
How long should I breastfeed? There is a handy chart to help you figure out when your baby will be due according to your LMP. There are also handy notes about websites, especially the one about the most complete source of baby names on the web. The actual birth section is extensive and it gives you a look into what is actually going to occur, so there are no surprises. The basic contents include: The Exhilarating Early Weeks
So You're Going to be a Mother
Forty Weeks and Counting
Stages of Childbirth
The Early Days and Weeks
You and Your Baby's Well-Being What I like most about this book is that they say if you are considering getting pregnant between the ages of 35 and 40, you can have a successful pregnancy. A colorful, fun book that will help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy.

Summary: So Far So Good!
Review: I am still very early into my first pregnancy and I found 'K.I.S.S.' to be very helpful and informative. The attention grabbing color pictures and personal advice from the author contribute to making this book one of the more interesting pregnancy books I have seen as of yet!

Summary: Dads Should Read This Too
Review: I wish this well-written, pertinent fountain of wisdom had been around when my wife was giving birth--so I could have had a better idea of what was going on. Superb marshalling of facts and information to cover every facet of childbirth. Written with style and humor. The artwork--photos and illustrations--makes it a joy to read. I'm making sure my three daughters will each have a copy when their time comes.

Summary: Concise,loaded with information, humor
Review: The author did her homework. Most of us approach pregancy with little information that is of importance to what, how and the hard questions that we're naive to ask about. The book answered many that i had, plus. It is beautifully illustrated, filled with wisdom and practical information. thank you

Summary: Informative Book for first time moms
Review: This book was very informative for a first pregnancy. It is filled with color pictures, and a great section on "breaking the news to your boss" that I noticed my other books lacked. It answers a lot of questions that books like "What to Expect When Expecting" don't really go into detail on such as the different types of chairs/positions for birth, the differences and effects of the pain medications, etc. RE: Breastfeeding. If you happen to be a woman who doesn't intend on breastfeeding, skip this section. This section is why I dropped my rating on the book. This woman admits to breastfeeding her child until 23 months you can hardly listen to much of her advice. Outside of that she sees no possible reason to not at least try... Besides that it is a great book.
