Does not cover enough! As soon as I found out I was pregnant (I am 27 weeks now) I went right out and bought this book because I heard how FABULOUS it was. Sure, it was fun for the first few months, flipping through it, seeing how the baby was growing, and being able to relate to different issues that came with what ever month I was in. The chapter on the pregnancy diet was OKAY. I liked the list of foods they had which contained the certain nutrients pregnant women need since before I was pregnant I didn't know what I was eating half the time! In the chapter on the 6th month, the authors have seemed to have gotten a little lazy. This is the month where some of us preggos are just starting (if we haven't already) to adjust to our lives carrying a basketball-like belly all the time. Almost the whole chapter covered childbirth classes and why they are good. While that info is all well and good, I would have much rather preferred more tips on how to sooth an achey back and tips on how to sleep when your little one is kicking the dickens out of you! In the chapter on the eighth month, they already go into signs of labor, false labor, etc despite the fact they have a big, long chapter on labor and delivery all by itself. Especially in the eighth month, I think we would just prefer information as to physical changes we go through every day. If anyone wants information on symptoms of false labor then simply flip over to that chapter! I personally prefer to know how my baby is growing and developing week by week.
