Negative Positive
Title: This book is a guilt trip!
Review: Unless you are willing to follow the very strict diet and exercise guidelines in this book, you shouldn't buy it. Even if you are willing to follow it, the advice is so unrealistic that most women who are pregnant will not be able to follow it because they will just feel too lousy. It really will just make you feel guilty and frustrated, which pregnant women really don't need. The medical information is very general, and was of little help to me during my pregnancy. Anything that I really wanted information on, I had to look up on the Internet. The only really valuable part of the book is the information on fetal development each month, and some of the information on how chemicals and certain foods affect the baby, which you could probably find on-line too. "What to Expect the First Year" is similarly strict and frustrating, and in some ways even insulting as to the advice it gives. Fortunately, I received both books as gifts and didn't waste my own money on them.
Is the review positive or negative?
