One of the better books about pregnancy knowledge especially for first-time moms. The pictures and diagrams showed an easy to understand view about what to expect. Although most of the information like midwives, birth plans are not really applicable here, nevertheless the tips given are ample and it's a good entry book to the vast knowledge of parenthood.
