Product Description
From Amazon
Whether this is pregnancy number 1 or number 10, nothing makes it easier to connect with a growing baby than knowing exactly what magical development is happening every day. Filling the need for practical information, medical data, emotional and spiritual fuel, and even "pregnancy trivia," The Pregnancy Journal is easily one of the best books available for a woman or couple expecting a baby. The journal contains about half a page of information for each day from conception through delivery. Nutrition, how to avoid discomforts associated with pregnancy, childbirth customs in other cultures, and practical parenting tips are among the topics touched on. Many days in the journal have a great section called "Did You Know"; for example, from Day 49: "The baby's arms at this point are only as long as this printed 1." At the bottom of each page is a quote from a literary or historical figure; some are sentimental, some pithy, some humorous, all inspiring.
The information and quotes seem to invite musings and speculation on the miracle unfolding inside the womb; there is some space for recording data and thoughts, but if you want to write more than just a few lines every few days, you might want to have a blank journal to accompany The Pregnancy Journal. The format of this book makes it much more manageable and inviting than most books on pregnancy, and the information is made even more accessible by the inclusion of a glossary/subject index in the back. Don't wait until the shower to give this excellent resource and thoughtful gift--moms-to-be will want to have it from the very beginning. --Katherine Ferguson --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
Since its first publication in 1996, The Pregnancy Journal has been the ultimate diary for expectant parents who want to follow their pregnancy day-by-day and step-by-step.
The new edition has been 20 percent revised for the 21st-century family. It offers all the same readable, down-to-earth and authoritative content but incorporates the latest in medical discoveries, including new dietary guidelines, a clearer picture of the baby's development in the womb, and up-to-date information on giving baby every advantage prior to birth. Great advice helps moms, dads and families through their second or third pregnancies, and new content helps siblings feel part of the experience.
With room to write and truly helpful information--without the predictable pastel ribbons or bows--this journal is both a valuable source book and an intimate keepsake for first-time parents and second-timers who used and loved The Pregnancy Journal the first time around.

nonsensical ...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pregnancy Journal: A Day-To-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy (Spiral-bound)
Someone gave me this book, and I found it absolutely maddening. It uses two different systems for counting down to the due date - one based on 280 days from the end of the last period, and one based on 266 days from the date of conception. The author always fails to distinguish which system she is using, and the numbers in the journal relate to one system, whilst the numbers on the wheel (provided to "help" you follow your pregnancy) are based on the other. The authors logic is so crooked that it is almost impossible to match up the dates between the journal and the wheel. I would rate this book as not just bad, but potentially dangerous - it could confuse a woman into getting her due dates mixed up and thinking she was overdue when she wasn't. Don't buy - and if given this book, be careful!

I adore this book!,

This review is from: The Pregnancy Journal: A Day-To-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book during my last pregnancy and looked forward every night to reading the page that dealt with that stage of pregnancy. The bits of folklore made it a lot of fun to read. I have already bought two copies of this book to give to pregnant friends, and I think it's going to become my stock pregnancy announcement gift! I was so impressed with this book that I quoted from it frequently and listed it in the recommended reading list in my own pregnancy book, The Unofficial Guide to Having A Baby. You did a great job on this book, A. Christine Harris. I can't wait to see your next book!
