This is a wonderful book. I used it for all three pregnancies. GREAT pictures of pregnant bodies and fetal development. Excellet information and advice that won't scare you half to death. Unlike other books, this one tells you what you really DO need for the baby - and what you can live without. It provides help wit basic baby care. It gives realistic estimates of weight gain, and tells you how big/long and strong a baby is at each week.
