"I read the first edition all the way through when I was pregnant with my first son in 1992-93. Since I don't really remember that far back, I don't know what the differences are between the first and third editions. But, the third is the one I own now and used during my third pregnancy in 2007.
It was fun to read the month-to-month chapters and figure out what the baby might look like and how big he was.

This is a wonderful reference guide to answer many questions you may have during your pregnancy. (Whether it be your first... or third!)"

"This was not my favorite pregnancy book. I found the book to be overly concerned with a few pregnancy related problems (diet, gas, gaining too much weight). I had none of these problems or worries. The book didn't have nearly enough scientific information about the development of the growing baby. It was very focused on pregnancy related problems. In summary, if you feel you have to read it because everyone reads the "what to expect" books, fine, but, please don't make this the only book you read about your pregnancy."

"How can you complain about too much information? This book was great, practical and reassuring. The index had most every topic I could think of. However, the version I read needed an update on epidurals since it didn't recognize that many women today have them during childbirth.
It does have diet guidelines that are healthy goals. I personally didn't follow them but they might be useful for someone who thinks that it is ok to gorge on whatever you want just because of being pregnant."

"It felt to me like this book is out to scare moms-to-be. Instead of celebrating how normal many of our pregnancy changes are, this book makes you question any weight gain (hello, we're growing babies here! They weigh alot!)and can often take a hectoring tone. I don't think ladies need that. Check out any of the other fine pregnancy and labor books out there by Sears, Gaskin, Kitzinger, Simkin, England and others."
