YOU: Having a Baby: The Owner's Manual to a Happy and Healthy Pregnancy (Abridged) Audiobook

" Best pregnancy book I have read so far. I appreciate how it explains in medical terminology why something is good or bad. "

" Hands-down the best pregnancy book I've read thus far. Really really good. (Oh, and for those of you that didn't know yet ... SURPRISE!) "

" A lot to read, so I never made it from cover to cover, but a good book for reference when you're pregnant. I found the exercises in the back of the book very helpful. "

" Really well written, and easy to understand and to share with my partner. Great book for traditional info. "

" Talked about precautions that I had never heard of before (e.g., flying on a plane exposes your baby to RADIATION) that just made me feel bad and didn't seem to come up in any other resource, so I stopped reading it. "

" Great book on pregnancy with enjoyable humor and funny illustrations "

" I really enjoyed this book because it takes a look at the actual physical/medical reasons for the things you experience during pregnancy. It was very informative and I enjoyed reading it. "

" Very in depth, scientific approach to pregnancy. I learned a lot of new things! "

" This is an informative book and I like that it was not done in the usual chronological order. Also, it's entertaining to read. The doctors have a great voice. "

" Always love the "YOU" docs! The info on vaccines at the end was particularly helpful, although I'm still undecided on the safety of vaccinations given to children so early...still need to hash that out and read other sources. "

" This was a fantastic resource for me to learn about my pregnancy in a practical, accessible way. It was packed with useful information and I'm glad it covered a wide range of topics, without being overwhelming. "

" Good and informative, but not the greatest book I have seen on pregnancy! I didn't learn anything new that I haven't seen in other books. It was good, but my advice is maybe just borrow this one for the library and give it a quick look over. "

" Great description of physiology involved in pregnancy and how it relates to health behaviors. Very different from the more directly applicable what to expect book. "

" focuses a lot on the science of having a baby, which is interesting but I didn't find myself refering to this book very often..just read it through once "

" Way better read for expectant mothers than "what to expect when you're expecting". Informative. Practical. Makes sense. "

" I read this once about 4 months into my pregnancy, then never picked it up again; I guess I just didn't feel the need to. This book is also heavy on scare tactics: eat Omega-3s or your baby will be DOOOOOOMED. "

" This book is different from most pregnancy guides because it does not that the traditional week 1....week 2 approach. Instead the authors hightlight the ways a pregnant woman changes and what her baby does on its own. The illustrations were cute but not as informative as a real diagram would be. "

" Very informative. Gave a lot of information that isn't found in similar books. "

" This was a pretty informative book. I think I prefer the week-by-week style, but most of them skip over the 'why' - this was good. "

" The pictures of this book alone make it worth reading. They are so funny. "

" Great book for the mother-to-be! I recommend this over What to expect when you are expecting. "

" Didn't like this one at all. I think that there are much better books out there on pregnancy and childbirth. I found that I flipped past most pages and skimmed most of the text. "

" Just OK. There were some really good sections but they were sort of lost in this giant book of blah. "

" It is an informative reference to have on hand with little ones at home. I did read it from front to back, however, it will need to be picked up time and again as the need arises. "

" Wouldn't want it to be the only book I read before becoming a parent, but it's an excellent supplement. "
