Negative Positive
Title: Overly medical, stress-inducing book
Review: My sister in law insisted I borrow this book from her claiming that it was the "best pregnancy book ever". What I found was a lot of fear mongering that treated pregnancy more like a terminal illness than the joyful occasion it really is. I literally couldn't force myself to read very much of it, and the parts I did read made me feel like every little bit of queasiness was a miscarriage waiting to happen or if I ate a bite of ice cream my baby would come out sick. If you are looking for a guide to pregnancy with a bit of heart, I suggest Dr. Sears' The Pregnancy Book; if you are looking for a nutrition guide that is easy to follow and well researched, I recommend Barbara Luke's Program your Baby's Health: The Pregnancy Diet for your Child's Lifelong Well-being.
