Title: Why is this so popular?
Review: I have no idea why this book is so popular. Although it contains good information, there are plenty of other books that do as well. I find the tone of the book a bit condescending. Reading this book, you'd think having a few potato chips would mean you're baby will be obese and you will have stretch marks and varicose veins, yet if you eat perfectly, everything will go perfectly. I exercies regularly and eat healthfully, yet I still find the tone offensive. I felt this book would leave most mothers paranoid about every little thing. Also, I wasn't that happy with the layout and how info is organized. I am much, much happier with the Mayo Clinic guide. The Mother of All Pregnancy Books is good, too--just as much info, but more realistic. If you must use this book, get it from the library and save your money to buy the Mayo Clinic guide.
