The Pregnancy Bible: Your Complete Guide to Pregnancy and Early Parenthood When I was pregnant with my first child (almost 5 years ago) I stumbled upon this book in one of my girlfriend's "libraries". Since she wasn't planning of having any more children she kindly 'gifted' this book to me. It turned out to be one of the best resources I had throughout my pregnancy and beyond. Being a Women's Health specialist I have bookshelves full of pregnancy books, nursing books, birthing books, child-rearing books, etc. but I have not found a single book that is as useful and comprehensive as The Pregnancy Bible.
The illustrations are superb, the text is very easy to understand and there is detailed medical information based on contributions to the book by two medical doctors. The book takes you week-by-week through fetal development in utero, discusses nutrition and exercise, options for pain relief, prenatal and postpartum care, how to cope with emotions, how to take care of a newborn and more. It is a must-have for anyone who is pregnant...makes a great gift, too!
PROS: Beautiful illustrations, easy to read, informative, edited by qualified and knowledgeable medical doctors, a great gift idea for any mom-to-be no matter how many kids they already have!
CONS: Some photos can be a bit graphic for some (especially some husbands!)
Online prices range from $15 to $30+ so make sure you shop around for the best price before you buy!
