Title: What to expect if you believe everything doctor says
Review: The title is unfortunately very accurate, and that is the problem. Comes up short on all counts when compared to 'Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn: the complete guide', by Keppler, Simkin and Whalley. The cover of WTEWYE shows the pregnant woman sitting passively in a rocker. In PC&N she is standing on her own two feet, seeking out information as an active participant, and preparing herself for what she WANTS, not just what she can expect. WTEWYE has an undeservedly enthusiastic following, and is part of the problem in the American way of birth, rather than part of the solution. Don't do your pregnant friends a disservice. Get them a book that respects their ability to make their own choices. This is not the one.
