Editorial Reviews: The average pregnancy lasts 280 days and the suspense can be excruciating! The Pregnancy Countdown Book starts on Day 280 and counts down the biggest milestones every step of the way with one page of helpful information for each day of your pregnancy. Here are tips from doctors and midwives, amusing anecdotes and quotes, and occasional gory-but-necessary details (if you can define the word "lochia," you know what we're talking about). Every page offers an interesting revelation. On Day 231, your baby will be the size of a blueberry but by Day 168, he'll be the size of a large avocado. By Day 124, you'll need to stop sleeping on your back; by Day 90, air travel becomes a dicey proposition. And if you haven't planned the nursery by Day 45, you're playing with fire. A perfect gift for expecting moms of all ages, The Pregnancy Countdown Book is a delightfully irreverent look at the craziest nine months of your life.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The Pregnancy Countdown Book: Nine Months of Practical Tips, Useful Advice, and Uncensored Truths Comment: this has been a nice book that gives you general descriptions at the the beginning of each week, then nice quotes from real moms each day. not a strictly medical based book, but a light book to help guide you through your pregnacny day by day. Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointed after such good reviews Comment: I was disappointed by this book after reading such good reviews. It is full of opinions and personal advice but no real factual information. Customer Rating: Summary: somewhat informative Comment: A good go to reference when wanting to understand a particular nuance of pregnancy catches you by surprise. Customer Rating: Summary: Light pregnancy reading Comment: This was a nice easy read to countdown the many days until the birth of our baby. There were several useful tips and bits of info that helped reassure me that others were also experiencing some of the symptoms and feelings (okay, anxieties!) I was having. Customer Rating: Summary: Favorite Pregnancy Book Comment: I did not want to read about all the bad stuff that could happen and freak myself out. This book was perfect for me. It has the facts of what is going on and what to expect, a little advice from other moms and a doctor. It is nice to pick it up and read what is going on in the belly day by day. I also like that is gave information as to what will be happening at the doctors appointments. Out of ALL the pregnancy books I bought this one is the one I go to the most. Don't want to be grossed out read this one. Want to know anything and everything that could happen might want to pick something else. More Reviews
