Title: a bit patronizing...
Review: I found this book to be written for moms that don't want too much information about what's going on in their bodies. It is written from an old fashioned perspective where birth is something that happens TO you as oppossed to something you are an active part of, where the doctor tells you what's going on -- and it is a bit patronizing at times. I found Sheila Kitzinger's 'The Complete Book of Pregnancy and Childbirth' to be a much more realistic guide to what happens to your body during pregnancy AND how to prepare for the impending birth (although it's not in a simplified weekly format). The books by William and Martha Sears are also great and positive, as is 'Birthing From Within' by Pamela England, which focuses on your role during the pregnancy and birth.
