"This book is great for first-time pregnant women. It's well-written, informative, interesting, and useful. I love the way it is organized. It goes through your pregnancy week-by-week with what you're going through (or will be going through), what the baby is doing, and what to expect with different pregnancy topics or issues. I read it with my first baby and loved it. Now that I'm on number 4, it's still nice to have a review, but I find I skim lots of the paragraphs. I'm glad they have bold headings so I know that it's safe for me to skip a topic that doesn't apply to me and know I'm not missing something vital. It's also nice that the book has a detailed index so I can find a specific topic when I have a particular question or concern."

    " I liked this book and it's weekly updates. It was a good balance of information without going overboard or freaking you out over every little thing. Towards the end, it seemed less helpful and started throwing in more complications and/or rare things that wouldn't apply to most. Overall, a good reference for keeping track of the pregnancy. "

    " Short articles on every week of pregnancy- what's happening to your body and what's happening for baby. I thought it was helpful. "

    " I think this book had good information (which is why I gave it 3 stars) but I did not like how it was organized. If you are looking for a book where you can strictly read what is happening during a specific week in pregnancy, this is not the book for you. The book has to be read in totality in order to appreciate its information. For example, while specific parts of the auditory system might be developing over a series of many weeks, the book only discusses hearing in week X, so you will miss out on information if you only read this on a weekly basis. Also, if you are a stress-ball, this might not be the book for you because a significant portion of the book (throughout the book) is dedicated to telling you about what can go wrong and warning signs. It talks about rare disorders quite a bit and in some cases repeatedly so some parts of the book were slow reading. I read the 6th edition (not the CD). I can't imagine trying to follow the information in this book while only listening. "

    " Forget what to expect when you're expecting, this was the best week to week pregnancy book I found. There were detailed pictures of the babys growth, dad tips, and exercise suggestions for each week. Its fantastic! "

    " Liked this one better than What to Expect. Week by week helps keep you more on track without lumping many of the changes together. Easy to read and comprehend. "

    " I really liked the way this book was organized. I felt that some of the information at the very end was incorrect (i.e. saying that under no circumstances can you eat or drink while in labor when my hospital provides jello and other light snacks to laboring mamas). I also found myself at week 38 of my pregnancy and thinking "Geez, what if I go into labor now and I don't make it through weeks 39-41?" Needless to say I quickly finished the book, throwing the weekly routine to the wind. :) Overall, I felt that this book was really good and would recommend this book over the other standard book (What to Expect When You're Expecting) but feel that reading both is really the way to go. "

    " I really like the layout of this book. I loved that each week it tells you what your baby should weight, measure in length, and what is developing. It has a section on baby, mom, and nutrition every week. I would definitely recommend this book to all pregnant women out there! "

    " I like this book for it's week by week charting. Day by day is too much and month by month is ridiculous. It's also a little more reasonable than the "What to expect..." series. I hate that book. This one doesn't make you feel like a crack whore for eating a donut. "

    " I like that this book explains things in small chunks--that's all I can take at the moment--AND it doesn't really harp on all the horrible things that "might" happen to me. "

    " This is a good book to read - but it can be a little condescending. Also, I am glad I read it BEFORE I am pregnant - it talked about stuff later in the book that one should know earlier in their pregnancy. I liked the layout of the Mayo Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy better. "
