For all the experts enlisted for technical review and such, shame on Ann Douglas for not catching an obvious error on pps 86-87: the cervix is NOT high during the beginning of the menstrual cycle.
Incorrect information is bad but to place it in context of pregnancy achievement is blatently irresponsible.
After catching this error, the book left a bad taste in my mouth.
There are much better books on pregnancy than this one…

Better to use What to Expect When You’re Expecting or the Mayo Clinic Guide.

I just ordered this version and now feel terrible that I didn’t read the reviews first – it seems that this is a US version (even if the publisher is Canadian) I really would like the Canadian version but it doesn’t seem to be posted here…. can anyone help.

This book was okay. It of course is a “pregnancy” book. It touched on several subjects, but alot of the information I was already aware of. This book is okay if you have NO clue about pregnancy or how to prepare for it. It does however have an excellent section on multiple pregnancy or abnormal pregnancy, but that doesn’t apply to the average mom-to-be. My husband wanted to read the book with me, but he didn’t like it. It was about the yucky parts of pregnancy that he didn’t want to know. Husbands need a book about after baby gets here and how their lives will change. That is what a man needs to know.

Does anyone know of a complete a to z type pregnancy book that they could recommend? I’d really appreciate the tip.
Thanks
