Expecting 411: The Insider's Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth Paperback – April 16, 2014

I really like the Q&A format of this book. It makes it easy to digest and also easy to skip over parts that don't apply to me. I have learned some great info and have been reading alongside What to Expect and Expecting Better for a well-rounded view.One thing I must say - I HAAAATTEEEE the long format size of this book!!!! It is so hard to casually read because it's so long and thick it's hard to keep open! Why did they choose this size for their book!?!

Fits well around the waist

I got this as a gift back when I was pregnant and now I gifted one to my best friend. It is such a great simple book to read . I’m not a big reader but this one sums it down for overly distracted minds lol. Highly recommend this easy to read for when your thinking something you don’t know the answer to .

We were gifted this book and it is a must have for pregnant women whether it’s their first or fifth baby. Written by an OBGYN and it’s full of answers to all the worries and concerns that pregnant women have. Please stop googling pregnancy advice and buy this book now.

Love this book! Highly recommend. Helpful information — your doc will not spend the time to talk to you about everything. I would cross ref areas where you have questions or doubts— but honestly, don’t waste your time or stress yourself googling everything. Just keep it simple with this one humorous but informative book!

Excellent book full of practical and extremely useful information. I like that it’s very down to earth I will make you laugh even when you’re reading about serious or uncomfortable subjects. It’s very easy to understand and reassures you of a lot of things you think about and go through while expecting. I would recommend this for any expecting couple even if it is their second or third time around.

Informative yes but when they talk about vaccinating your baby it basically tells you "You might think you know what's best for your baby but you dont I do." They just talk about the controversy between vaccinations & autism. How there is no proof that one relates to the other yet they don't talk about how many vaccines could cause an infant to seizure from a bad reaction or brain damage or worse death. Take a look at the vaccine memorial site. Me as a first time mom I want to do what's best and get myself educated on the topic not for someone to tell me "you don't know anything I do" So I'll be looking into other books about this topic and do my research cause I'm all for my child being immune to dangerous viruses without the life long brain damage.

This book is full of realistic, helpful information. I ordered it for my first pregnancy 4 years ago based on the recommendation of my OBGYN, and ordered the most recent edition for my current pregnancy. The book takes you through each trimester and describes exactly what to expect. It’s very easy to reference sections when you want to look up specific information. I bought other books during my first pregnancy and liked this one the most by far!

Super Buch. Das Beste, was ich bisher in Händen hatte. Informativ, umfassend und eine gute Mischung zwischen Menschlichkeit und Medizin/ Biologie. Sehr angenehm fand ich die sachliche Art. Sehr, sehr empfehlenswert obwohl es in Englisch geschrieben ist.

This is by far the best pregnancy book I have found. I love that you can use the index in the back to find exactly what you are looking for, without having to read through the entire thing all at once. It covers everything that I have had questions about so far, and I have had a lot of questions. There is even a whole section on spa treatments.

Did care for this book. It's based on Q & A and really hard to handle and read because it's not a normal size.
