Title: Outdated Information
Review: When I first read this book, I laughed at the first two pages. Then I just ended up feeling sorry for the author's daughter--who will one day read this and learn just how much her mother hated being pregnant with her. Then I was just shocked at how outdated it was. She has such a bitter attitude towards pregnancy, it makes you wonder why she didn't just adopt instead.On top of that, her information is outdated and one-sided. Aside from interviewing doctors, it seems like she didn't put much research or thought into her pregnancy. Never do we get the entire picture of all our choices when it comes to medical care, labor, and labor pain management. Foods that are healthy (ex- pasteurized soft cheeses) are completely banned in this book.Parts of pregnancy suck, but it doesn't have to suck that bad. In fact, many of the "unavoidable torture" the author talks about can totally be worked around while keeping mom and baby healthy (and in some cases, safer) than what she suggests.
Is the review positive or negative?
