Expecting our Baby

I bought all the pregnancy & birth magazines while pregnant and this is a good one. It's highly informative and interesting, the pages are well laid out and it's jam packed with useful tips and interesting articles. You will learn most of what you need to know about pregnancy & birth from this magazine, it's extremely reassuring to have all the information well laid out like this. It has many real-life stories and this months issue (October 2000) includes Melinda Messanger's birth story - it has all the celebrity glamour too! It has a good 40 week short guide to what's happening to you and your baby which is really useful to refer to. I thoroughly ...  Read the complete review

I am pregnant with our third baby, and bought this magazine recently for the first time. The cover looked great, promising 20 real life stories, 33 products on test, a guide to weight gain in pregnancy and expert help to give birth. Sounds good - but the inside was disappointing. I'm sure if they say there are 20 real life stories then there are, but I couldn't find them. There are 3 telling about their pregnancies so far, then someone about birth, the way it was sold on the front cover I was expecting 20 stories all in the one section - it said "this baby'll change our lives 20 real life stories". Well it wasn't set out like that at all ...  Read the complete review

I bought Expecting Our Baby magazine religiously every month during my pregnancy and I must say that I found it very useful. Being a first time mum and having never had anything to do with 'babies', I was trying to read every baby mag in sight but this one was may favourite. It covers sections on pregnancy, birth, life after the birth, baby's first year, health, and they do a good products on test section where they test 3 or 4 products. I must say I did take their advice on several of our purchases. So I would recommend this magazine to all you pregnant mum's to be. ...  Read the complete review

Since I got pregnant nine long months ago i have lost my previous ignorance of pregnancy. Gone are all the thoughts of a happy little bump with strangers admiring your new shape, scan piccies to show off and then a perfect baby at the end. It was replaced with worry and paranoia from newspapers, books and television shows, I didn't realise all the things that could go wrong and that a lot of pregnancys were far from perfect. I bought the pregnancy magazines expecting them to cover all types of problems, from not enough amniotic fluid to baby deformaties, things that haunted me and many of my other pregnant friends at each scan and antenatel. You ...  Read the complete review

This is for both men and women, hence the title "expecting our baby". It is jam packed full of information for you from the monet you conceive through to giving birth and the first year of your childs life. Anyone who has read a lot of the parenting mags opinions will have probably realised by now that I am addicted to buying baby mags, and have wrote an opinion on most of them. I just got addicted to buying them while I was pregnant. It gave me a buzz to be able to read about my pregnancy, and read what is hapening to my baby each week. This magazine lets you know what is happening to not just your baby each week, but also to your body and ...  Read the complete review
