jholloed's review against another edition
3.0
Wish there was a 3.5 stars for this?
Yes, I agree with some that it really contains a lot of information that can be found in other pregnancy books. Yes, the use of "sister" was more than a little off.
BUT, it is also true that most pregnancy books gloss over the fact that so many women these days begin this journey overweight! They only stop to consider this in the risks section, which is likely to leave us feeling left out and a bit frightened.
So for that I say, I appreciate this book. Had a lot of good advice that I needed to be reminded of. It was relatively upbeat, making me feel a bit more like it wasn't doomed to fail, but more like I was in control, it would take work, but it would be okay.
