This book was a life saver! I'm currently 28 weeks with a triplet pregnancy.  It gave me valuable information that lead to me changing doctors, seeing a specialist, and changing to a hospital with a level 3 NICU.  I feel comfortable and confident in the level of care I'm receiving thanks to the advice in this book.  It also had a great sections on preparing for the birth/NiCU that pregnancy books for singletons would never mention.  If you are expecting multiples you NEED this book!

I already own several Pregnancy and Childbirth books, but I love having this one on my Kindle App so I can reference as needed on the go. This book is very informative and at times, has been more helpful than the ever popular 'What to Expect' books that I aso own. I love that it is one book for all three stages. Penny Simkin has written a book that I highley recommend to all mothers, whether thet are expecting thier first or fourth child as I was when I purchased this book. It has a great section for C-sections births, which tend to be skimmed over in many books, as though they were written by proponents of natural labor techniques. I really feel like this book appeals to a broader range of parents.

Someone bought me this book 10 years ago when I was expecting my first child, and it was priceless! Month-by-month everything is explained from what changes to expect in your body, to what is happening with your baby. The frequently asked questions/answers were soooooooo helpful. I passed this book on to a pregnant friend when I was done. But when my husband and I decided to have another baby I immediately bought another copy. It is the pregnant woman's bible to all things baby!

The best book on fertility, I was so impressed!
We were having trouble conceiving our second child- due this October! Our first child was a whoopsie. So I was a little flustered when things weren't happening very fast the second time around.
I found this book, I learn so much! The book was invaluable to us. I bought it used for about $6, knowing what I know now I would have paid 10x that.
In health class during school they just give you tampons, pads, and deodorant and tell you not to have sex or you will get pregnant and get an STD! lol They don't really teach you anything about the female body. 28 day cycle isn't really accurate at all, especially for me, I have a 60 day cycle on average.
Instead of thinking was infertile all the sudden and feeling miserable, this book made me feel so powerful! We were able to conceive after one cycle (60days).
I was able to realize I was pregnant before it even showed on a pregnancy test. I knew my due date immediately. I even went to my dr. office with my chart, she was so impressed. Because my cycle is so long they would have tried to tell me I was WAY farther along, but because I kept track, I knew I wasn't.
I also learned that your waking temp will dip the day or day or two before you go into labor, can't wait to try it.
Really this book is worth every penny! :)
Oh and also great book if you aren't looking to get pregnant. If you are a woman... you should read this book : )

Totally love this book. I was surprise that it was such a fast read. I wish I knew about this book earlier with my first child. It really helped me understand my body a lot more then I thought before. This book explains everything in plain English and no hard terms where you have to scratch your head to understand. It explains everything to you about what is going on during your postpartum and it even have different chapters for moms who had natural birth and moms who have c section. Gives you self test to see if your body is ready for exercise and why you still have a baby belly. It also gives you exercise to do to help you work on losing that unwanted baby belly.  Luckily I read the book in time because it's summer and I started to work out again and I'm breastfeeding. Apparently you're not suppose to over work your body when your breastfeeding and to avoid injuries!!! My back was aching me and after reading this book it guided me on what I should and shouldn't do while I'm still breastfeeding and how long I should wait until it's ok. I would definitely recommend this book to all mom to be and those who are already a mom.

i discovered this book in the waiting room of my ob/gyn office.  i was flipping through it one day while i was waiting for my appointment while i was pregnant with my first child.  i immediately went out and bought a copy.  this book is a tremendous resource - especially if you are a first time mom.  it kept me from calling the pediatrician's office about a dozen times because i could figure out what was going on with my child by reading about symptoms and conditions described in the book.  i refer to it all the time.  and i have several pregnant girlfriends now - all of whom i've purchased this book for as a gift.  i can't endorse it highly enough!

Wow...a wealth of knowledge is contained within the pages of this awesome book! I had a bunch of books during my pregnancy, but found them all lacking a little something. This book, however, is perfect! This is the only pregnancy education/reference book you will ever need! Buy it..you will be happy you did:)

I cannot recommend this book enough! It was a lifesaver when it came to picking out things for our baby! It has so much useful information about all the items you need (and don't need) for the baby, all the brands, reviews on them, etc. It lets you know what brands to avoid, which are good, what items are useless, etc. And the reviews are based on research with lots of parents/consumers and other information. And every other year there is a new release, so you can count on the information being pretty up-to-date. I get this for ALL of my moms-to-be friends/family, I recommend it to others, and I even got the latest version when I was having my second child, to make sure products I had were still safe, etc. If you are having a baby, this is WELL WORTH IT! GET IT!

Wish I would have purchased this at start of pregnancy. This book is awesome! It is packed with information about pregnancy, childbirth, and caring for your newborn (exactly as the title implies). I really love how much detail this book goes into regarding the labor and delivery process. I would say this book would be especially beneficial for any woman hoping to have a NATURAL childbirth. It goes into great detail about coping techniques etc during the labor process. That being said, if you are planning to get an epidural or even know you will need a c-section, this book would still be extremely informative (mainly for a first time mom-although I'm not saying the info is super basic). The book is full of very detailed info. However, unlike some books that cover such technical info, it does not read like a boring textbook. It also does not read like a goofy "humorous" book where the author is trying to funny in every sentence. I love that the authors made it very easy to read and not boring but didn't try to be hilarious (which usually ends up being annoying instead of funny).
As far as the Newborn section-I am finding it to be very helpful and informative just as the rest of the book has been. If you only go with one Pregnancy/Childbirth book-this is the one I would invest in. (And I had about 9 between the ones I bought and ones that were given to me).

I am in my third trimester with twins and with their impending arrival coming anytime, I thought I'd better brush up on breast-feeding techniques. And thankfully, someone from La Leche recommended this book to me! I even made my husband read it.
It is chock full of good suggestions and little things to keep one aware of what breast-feeding twins really consist of. It gives one an idea of the average time of breastfeeding ... how often, how to handle both of them at once, what to do when only feeding one of them at a time ... it just gives a good idea of what to expect. And it's extremely helpful for this first-time mother! It helps allay the panic that I've been feeling ever since the doctor said, well, they can come anytime, so be prepared!
I highly recommend this book to everyone ~~ even though my copy was dated from 1985 ~~ it is still sensible advice for new moms.

I love this book!!! I love it so much I have bought 2 more for pregnant friends! The pages are great, fill-in-the-blanks that you don't think about when your pregnant make it easy to  document your journey! The spots for pictures are great, and there is a pocket in the back for extra keepsakes!

This is the only book you need for multiple births.  Save yourself the time and effort of digging all over and just get this one :)  I have birth to fraternal twins that both weighed 7 pounds and were 38 weeks gestation. I also am nursing them both--- this is because I followed this book to a "t".  I ate the right things, took the naps (when my other was napping), took the right vitamins, etc.  I had a perfect twin pregnancy!  Now I follow their diet for nursing twins and I am doing that as well!  Good luck- this book will be a lifesaver!!!

There is a reason that this book is considered the go-to of pregnancy books. What to Expect When You're Expecting has answers for every question a pregnant woman can think of. My favorite thing about this book is the weekly information provided. You can read about what will happen at your Dr. appt. based on the week of your pregnancy as well as learn about symptoms and your baby's growth at each stage. This book and the accompanying smartphone app are fantastic and I have given the book as a gift to friends who are currently expecting. My baby girl was just born a few weeks ago- so I'm now reading What to Expect During The First Year by the same author.

This book is awesome. It shows how big your baby is every week and has helpful info. I had one for my first pregnancy and gave it to a friend because I loved it and thought she would too. I became pregnant again and of course bought another. Highly recommend.

Someone bought this for me when I was pregnant and I loved it so much I now buy it for all of my pregnant friends.  It's a real guide to pregnancy that shares realistically what you can experience during your pregnancy, not like those other books that only tell you how everything is bad for you and how bad your pregnancy will be.  I highly recommend this book for all first time moms!

I have read this book cover to cover at least 2-3 times now.  I have two children.  I initially purchased this book after our pediatrician recommended it.  I was 8 months pregnant in 2009. I read it before my first was born, and I referred to it VERY often after she was born.  This is such a great book, and it has wonderful tips from Dr. Tanya.  I love the breakdown of this book; it covers common symptoms, ailments, and illness from newborn to toddler.  I actually love this book so much that I give it as a gift to EVERY new mother that I know.  It is a stellar read, and I HIGHLY recommend especially to new moms, and moms that have had a few years gap in between babies.  My son was born just last year, and I didn't have to refer to it as often, but I kept it on my nightstand just in case.  This was my go to read whenever my children were symptomatic.  I rarely ever called the nurse's line, and it would often help me to determine whether or not I should take my son or daughter to the doctor as well depending on the severity of symptoms.  This book was fantastic in helping me to understand my little one's body and symptoms and helping me make conscious decisions regarding care and health. Great read!

I was expecting my 3rd child. When I saw that Lindsay had a new book available I pre ordered it right away! I have the pregnancy workouts already and love that this book has cardio options for expectant moms. I started my pregnancy over weight and wanted to control my weight gain in a healthy way. This book had good info for that. I miscarried and am now using the section about getting your best body back. I love the way that Lindsay approaches nutrition and gives you good life style changes and not crazy fad diets. Overall I loved this book and would recommend it for anyone expecting a baby or wanting to lose the pudge afterward.
