Title: Nice Resource, But EXTREMELY Flawed
Review: Pregnancy and Birth are completely natural. This book treats you like a patient instead of a woman. While this book mentions most everything that can cause concern in pregnancy, and has symptoms that you can check out, its advice is not very practical or in-depth. It is convenient to refer to for complications and other side effects of pregnancy.The Diet is a joke. The section on morning sickness is a joke. The information on giving birth is sketchy at best. This book is slanted for those who give the responsibility of their care completely into the hands of the doctors instead of for those who want to research everything and find a doctor or midwife who suits them.I shudder at all the reviews that call this the Pregnancy Bible. There are many better books out there that encourage you to be a full participant in your pregnancy care and that describe labor fully so that it is no longer frightening.
