Negative Positive
Title: It also made me feel stupid and minimized my problems
Review: I had a VERY difficult pregnancy, and the information in this book really minimized the problems I was having. It made me feel stupid, like a whiner, and not take my symptoms seriously enough, and feel guilty for being such a wimp. I ended up in the the hospital with some very scary complications. Very few people sail through their pregnancies like the book describes, and as most OB's will also minimize your discomforts, you really need to stand up for yourself and get a support group (like Babycenter.com) where you can talk to other women and figure out what to demand that your doctor do for you. I think that if I had not read this book, I would have taken my symptoms more seriously and not tried to ignore them for so long.
