Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide

by Shaoni Bhattacharya

You're having a baby and starting parenthood- the adventure of a lifetime! Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide is a trusty travel guide for this amazing journey, from conception to birth and beyond.

Pregnancy The Beginner's Guide has the answers with lists, Top 10 facts and a helpful translation guide for the new experiences and words you'll encounter. It follows the progress of mother and baby month- by-month, making it easy for you to use at all stages of your pregnancy and includes special sections for dads that give tips on what to expect and what's expected of them.

[Kate McElfatrick]

The information in this book is laid out in a fun, eye-catching way, and is much more digestible than other pregnancy books. It does focus a lot on week-by-week development of the fetus, which can be a bit dry. Maybe this is a trend with pregnancy books? I’d like to see a bit more information on what’s going on with MY body, not just the stereotypical “you’re tired and have morning sickness” information that you already know

Easy to read. Short and to the point and enjoyable.

DK books are colorful and easy to read format. Organized well and a quick read but insightful. I also appreciated the cultural components throughout the book.
