Advantages: Straight forward advice advice and information

Disadvantages: Doesn't have a lot of pictures of your developing baby

I bought this book after seeing it in the film knocked up. I had just found out I was pregnant and this book did contain loads of helpful information on diet in the early stages. I was really excited about reading my pregnancy book and it did contain all the facts you need but it lacked any excitement. I missed all the nice pictures and little facts about my developing baby.

However if I had concerns I did go to this book first but I found I used the internet to get my excitement fix.

The book is thick, many pages and when I was looking at it in the bookshop I liked the fact that there was so much to read and find out about, all in all there are just under 600 pages and I bought it from Waterstones for £14.99 as I couldn't wait to get it however if you don't minding waiting a few days for delivery amazon sell it for £11.19.

The book is very good for giving you information and even contains a section on how to deliver a baby in an emergency. That page was immediately folded down, just to be on the safe side. Of course it wasn't needed but at least the information was close by.

If you are looking for a facts only book with nutritional advice and even some healthy recipes then this is the book for you, there is a section which gives advice for post natal and your new baby as well.

I am glad I bought this book as I did rely on it.

Summary: Good book to tell you what you need to know.
