Title: Scares the bejeebers out of you. Skip it.
Review: If you're in your first pregnancy and looking for a good reference guide, skip this book. This was one of several books we purchased and every time we'd look up some perfectly normal symptom during our first pregnancy, we'd get alarmed by its dire predictions of dead babies, brain damaged babies, "see your doctor IMMEDIATELY" warnings. If we didn't have other references, we'd be seriously stressed out about a perfectly normal, healthy first pregnancy. The information is generally accurate, if a bit over-reactive and designed to keep you on the phone with your doctor 24 hours a day. After the first couple of months, it was put on the bookshelf and never opened again.Save your money. We strongly preferred "The Pregnancy Book" by Dr. Sears. ISBN 0316779199. And all of the other books in that series after you have your healthy baby. Buy it on amazon and save yourself unneeded stress that accompanies any of the books in the "What to expect..." series.
