So informative, this book helped me know exactly what to expect and what signs to watch out for that would indicate a medical problem. It helped make for an easy pregnancy and made the first month so much less stressful than I imagine it otherwise would have been.

I am so happy AHS produced these books and provides them free for every new mother in the province. This is a rare example of what they're doing right with our tax dollars.

This was a suggested read by a friend of mine who is also pregnant to help me with some of my concerns and it was a great source of information. I am now feeling more confident going into these last few weeks of pregnancy.

It's a great resource on each trimester, when going into labour and the first 6 weeks of baby's life.

This book was given to me by my doctor. Great resource for all moms to be in Alberta. Definitely useful information that is specific to the province. If your doctor doesn't give you a copy on their own, ask for one.

This book was extremely helpful in preparing me for all the symptoms of pregnancy and what to expect during birth and the first few weeks with a baby. It took away some of the unknowns and helped me feel more excited and less anxious!

Very helpful book that I know I will be referencing quite a bit once our little girl is born.

Read through this when my wife was pregnant and glad I did. Lots in here to get you prepared for what could happen during birth.
Not for the faint of heart!
