5.0 out of 5 stars A Pregnancy Book that will keep you sane, April 23 2003

By

Kristin Blanchard (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 1000 Questions about Your Pregnancy: Everything Every Expecting Woman Needs to Know! (Paperback)

I just had my first child, and going through my first pregnancy, I bought every book about pregnancy that was out there. Dr. Thurston is my OB-GYN, which is how I found out about this book. It is BY FAR the book that I referred to the most. It was very comforting to be able to look up information that is supported by medical fact, as opposed to the author's opinion. It is easy to find whatever topic you may be concerned about, and this book covers just about everything! Dr. Thurston addresses the questions with humor, making it a fun read. I highly recommend this book to all pregnant women! And I'm giving it as gifts to all of my pregnant friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars 1st Pregnancy? Look no further., Feb 18 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 1000 Questions about Your Pregnancy: Everything Every Expecting Woman Needs to Know! (Paperback)

This book will answer most any question you can possibly ask about your pregnancy. You know- the one that you either meant to ask the doctor at your last visit or felt it might not be important enough to ask. The book is informative and erudite, yet, is written in lay language that is easy to understand. It is tastefully comical in discussing many of the more sensitive and taboo topics and its approach is suggestive rather than preachy. The organization of the book around a list of questions that each seemed to gain in relevancy at different stages of our pregancy, allowed us to read in fragments without feeling guilty for "skipping around." We highly recommend this book for the first time parent(s).

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Straight Shooting Answers to your Questions!, Feb 17 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: 1000 Questions about Your Pregnancy: Everything Every Expecting Woman Needs to Know! (Paperback)

I purchased the What to Expect book with my first pregnancy and had to stop reading it due to its doom and gloom attitude (Don't eat that one candy bar or your child will be nutritionally doomed!). During my second pregnancy, Dr. Thurston's book was in my OB's office when I went for my first visit and I found it to be not only informational but pretty straight shooting with the facts. This book is packed with loads of information on a variety of subjects and talks about them with rational, straight forward language. Pregnancy can be a scary thing, but I think it's important to have a factual resource that tells it like it is without scaring you half to death.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doctor tells it like it is without sugar-coating it
I have the traditional expecting books and got this one with the second pregnancy. It answered many questions that I had forgotten or didn't learn during the first pregnancy. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars The Week-by-Week Pregnancy Book is much better.
The index is terrible; the author is flippant. Save your money and buy something else.
