Summary: Highly recommended
Review: Almost a million teenage women become pregnant each year. Before they found out they were pregnant, a lot of these young women were probably dealing with other important life decisions such as what college to attend and what career to follow, while also dealing with outside influences from family and friends. That's a lot of pressure for any teenager but add being pregnant to the mix, it must be overwhelming.
This book and all of the important information contained within it, will inform any teenager about a pregnancy, how to get through it, what options/alternatives are out there and how to make the right decision.
The author, Tania Heller, was really thoughtful with the information she included in this book because there were chapters on taking control, dealing with the thought process and the reaction after finding out you're pregnant, parenting, adoption, abortion, what to expect during the pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases to name just a few. But what's great about this book is that Heller also includes the questions a typical teenager who cares about her appearance might ask such as "what will being pregnant do to my looks?" This book gives information about the options that are out there and what steps need to be taken. It's highly recommended and should be available within all YA library collections, school libraries, teen centers, etc.

Summary: THE best text on teen pregnancy today
Review: This is the most descriptive book on teen pregnancy yet, and i recommend this book to any teen who may be in such a situation, or anyone. This book gives many options for the teen to pursue, which the teen may not have thought of. Dr. Heller is the best pediatric author of the time, and it would be great if she would come out with another book.
