A book of relief for my 1st pregnancy
This book answers any random question you may have. It’s amazing. It’s not one sided on any topic either, for example elective c-section. Gives your the facts and what some think of the pros and cons. You can skip around the book which is awesome. They organized it very well so that it’s easy to read and I understand. It’s the most well written book I’ve ever laid eyes on and I’m happy because it’s my first pregnancy and I was worried I’d be overwhelmed!! I put up pictures of the table of contents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2023

This book strikes the balance between factual textbook and quick reference guide. Each trimester is broken down into weeks, with colour illustrations of what the baby looks like at each stage. There is advice on dealing with the various ailments that pregnancy can cause, plus lots of other useful info.

I read another review that mentioned the lack of cited sources, which I guess is odd, but doing so would have made the book much larger and more like a study guide. I often read mayo clinic articles online, so I feel confident that their sources are decent.

Overall, worth purchasing!

Nice that it has to week-by-week updates, but otherwise this thing reads like a textbook. It's okay if you want to look up something specific, but I would not enjoy reading it cover-to-cover. Nice that it's from Mayo so you know it's accurate information at least. A handy guide overall, but was kind of disappointed with how dry it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Informative. I don't want to read a bunch of stats
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023

I'm enjoying this book because it's an easy read and it just gives you the information you need to make informed decisions and to be in the know. I didn't want a book full of statistics and studies. I don't want to be overwhelmed with those types of details. I want to have enough information to be able to know what's going on with my baby and body, and have questions ready for my doctor. I'm planning on buying the "Your Baby's First Year's" version since I'm enjoying this one so much.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Resource for First-Time Mama from a Trusted Source!
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2023
Verified Purchase
This book was my first purchase days after finding out I was pregnant. It was such a great resource from a trusted medical source - Mayo Clinic! As a first-time mama, I knew close to nothing about being pregnant and was quickly educated about how to care for myself through each month of pregnancy. As I experienced changes, I constantly referenced this guide and felt more prepared for doctor's appointments as the information in this book helped me know the right questions to ask. It also provided guidance on birth and caring for my baby in the first months. I highly recommend this resource to other mothers.

Trae varios términos médicos y explicaciones médicas muy bien explicados para que lo entienda cualquiera. Es un libro con evidencia fidedigna e información confiable. Aunque a veces si puede ser tedioso leerlo si no te gusta conocer mucho de medicina o del cuerpo humano. Pero en general a mí me sirvió mucho durante mi embarazo.

Wildly disappointed by this book. If you are in any way related to the scientific world, have basic knowledge of biology and pregnancy, you will most likely find it not useful.
