My Review 

Horrific book. I would not recommend this book to any pregnant woman. It was extremely medically-oriented with no tolerance for more natural philosophies towards pregnancy and birth. On top of that, it focused more on frightening the tar out of pregnant women week by week by highlighting the most rare, scary things that could happen. In fact, during one particular week the author apparently couldn't find any obscure pregnancy complication, so he talked about appendicitis instead! Pros: It's fun to track a pregnancy week by week, but I would recommend doing this online instead as the resources are superior to what is found in this book.
