This is truly 'the mother of all pregnancy books' - an intelligent resource that covers every pregnancy-related topic imaginable in a fun, reassuring way. Ann Douglas has done an exceptional job of arming parents-to-be with the facts they need to make the healthiest possible choices from preconception through postpartum. A must-have! |

The Mother of All Pregnancy Books is a comprehensive and incredibly informative resource about pregnancy (and what comes before and after!). Ann Douglas tells all in her witty style, entertaining readers along the way. Unlike other pregnancy books, Douglas combines thorough research and reporting with the human touch, offering her own experiences and insight while educating her readers at one of the most important times in their lives. This book is not to be missed! |

If you're looking for an all-in-one 'Tell me everything, and tell it like it is' book for your pregnancy, The Mother of all Pregnancy Books is it. Not only is this hefty volume filled with facts about fertility, pregnancy and birth, it also contains hundreds of anecdotes from moms who lived - and maybe even loved - pregnancy. Author Ann Douglas knows her stuff, and is wise but not preachy friendly but not overbearing. Keep this book close at hand for instant guidance through the highs and the lows of this extraordinary time! |

Parenting and pregnancy writer Ann Douglas offers her take on the best and worst of pregnancy, outlining the 10 most common concerns, the 10 most common complaints, and the best aspects of being pregnant. More upbeat than WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU'RE EXPECTING, Douglas's book skims the surface of what you need or want to know during those unique nine months. Kate Reading reads with gentle assurance and a fair amount of humor but at times sounds a bit condescending. That aside, the abridgment gives a generous look at what to expect without bogging the listener down in scary details. Reading provides a voice of encouragement.
