Negative Positive
Title: Informative, but not reassuring
Review: Although I found this book to be helpful when looking for information about something, I did not find the tone of the book reassuring. Much of it is written in question and answer format, and the majority of the questions have the tone of a mother who is worrying. This format sends the message that panic and constant worry are appropriate responses to pregnancy. Even though worry is certainly a part of being pregnant, I felt that the presuppositon of worry often exacerbated my own worries and was leading me in the direction of worrying excessively - which is easy enough to do in the first place. I give it two stars because it is informative, but would recommend looking for a book with a more reassuring tone.
