Rating: Summary: Really simple guide to pregnancy Review: This book is really cute and provides a "not too much information" approach to pregnancy. The 125 tips are useful and informative especially to first timers like myself. It provides a welcome break from the heavy reading of books like WHAT TO EXPECT. Makes a great gift for someone who is expecting!
Rating: Summary: A warm, and light hearted taste of pregnancy! Review: This book was given to my daughter when she got pregnant. It is not a guide, not a medical reference manual... there are enough of those out there. It is a colorful little book of advice about how to enjoy being pregnant, written especially for the mother, who is, let's face it, often not the focus of the pregnancy. There is nothing wrong with pampering yourself, and feeling good about yourself, and this author gives you tips on how to do exactly that. For the price, it is well worth it. I hope there will be another about post delivery soon... My daughter delivers in three months!
Rating: Summary: A "must-read" for new moms-to-be. Review: This wonderfully illustrated, fun and straight to the point, gem of a book is the perfect gift for anyone you know who has just found out she is pregnant. The 125 things the author tells us about are useful and practical but told to us in a charming way without too many words to read in an already busy day. It would be the perfect book for obstetricians and midwives to give to all pregnant patients. I really liked the book, and will order it to send to friends who are planning to have children soon. I hope that she comes out with a book that tells what to do once the baby is brought home!
Rating: Summary: Cute but a Downer Review: We all know that pregnancy means getting big and awkward, and that we'll need more support from our friends and families. This book, though, rather than cheering me through the hard parts, just ticked me off. For all the feisty attitude, there is a depressing, sexist feel to these 125 Things. I acknowledge that making yourself look good can help you feel good, but for goodness' sakes, why waste energy caring about shaving your legs when you're using all your resources to nurture a baby? Instead, I'd like some advice or guidance that helps me feel good about being exhausted and swept up in such rapid physical changes.Just pass this one by. Surely there is a more confident or positive humorous guide to pregnancy out there.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful, humorous approach to a pregnancy Review: What a great book! A different approach to a "being pregnant" book. Very funny and lighthearted.
