Pregnancy Book

During the pregnancy section, it gives you a week-by-week explanation of the changes your body is going through, the development of your new baby (complete with illustrations), and what kind of emotional changes to expect; you’re left informed of exactly what’s going on! It also lists all of the problems you might have during each week, and let’s you know whether or not you should worry about them. It really makes you feel better about the whole experience.

There are also “decision-making guides” in the middle, helping you decide on all of the important things every mom has to during their pregnancy; whether or not to breastfeed, having another child, etc. It gives you the pros and cons of each, but doesn’t steer you in either direction; it just gives you what you need to make an informed decision yourself.

The book is so long that it functions more as a reference guide than something you’ll read cover-to-cover, although you can definitely read it that way, too. You’ll probably find yourself taking it out to look things up from time to time to look things up.
