Rating: Summary: Scary and Discouraging Review: Someone gave me this book when I became pregnant with my first child at age 34. I have to agree with most of the other reviewers. This book does absolutely NOTHING to settle the mind of a woman of "advanced maternal age." Get "What to Expect When You're Expecting" instead. It's gentle and encouraging and most of the info applies to expectant moms of all ages.
Rating: Summary: A comfort Review: There aren't many books for pregnant women over 35. The other pregnancy guides make me feel paranoid or leave me uninformed. This book imparts useful information without leaving me with illusions or fear. A very good balance for such a small book! I also found information in this book I couldn't find in other guides. I recommend it for all mothers-to-be over 35

Rating: Summary: too little, too late Review: There is very littl information on pregnancy itself in this book, but LOTS aobut how horribly difficult it is to get and stay pregnant if you are older.I found this book uninformative and scary. I much prefer Your Over-35 Week by Week Pregnancy Guide. It has lots of information, is well organized and easy to read and is thorough without being scary.
Rating: Summary: I didn't like this book. Review: This book only talks about all the problems you can encounter if you get pregnant and over 35. After reading it I felt sad and worrried. I am 39, I am healthy, and this book made me feel like I am too old to get pregnant.
