Belongs in the trash can To be honest, the best use of this book I've found is propping up the car seat base to get the best angle. Other than that, it's worthless unless you actually enjoy being patronized for being a woman and pregnant. I read this book cover to cover several times to figure out what my problem was with its tone. It finally hit me that though the book is written supposedly for women, the authors address the fathers to be as if they are the reasonable, rational, more informed, and more powerful half of the partnership. Women are treated as if we inherently are out to ruin our fetuses through irresponsible behaviour and that we can't possibly have a healthy pregnancy on our own. Bah, whatever. My midwife told me to chuck this book and find anything else. I didn't even find the summaries of what was supposed to be happening in a particular month all that helpful. I too went to the library and found much better books. Read it if you want to know how the world at large will treat you when you're pregnant, but by all means, read something else for pregnancy information.
