Review by First-timer for Your Pregnancy Week by Week, 6th Edition (Your Pregnancy Series)

This is my first pregnancy, so I had lots of questions. I went overboard on the books – I own 3. The other 2 are informative, and I am glad I had a chance to read them, but if a woman wants one book that will answer her pregnancy questions, “Your Pregnancy Week by Week” is the one I recommend. This book explains the stages of the pregnancy, both for the mom and baby, at a nice pace, weekly. I own “What to Expect When You Are Expecting”, which goes month by month, but that seems too general because I want to know what is going on with my body and my baby now, not “sometime this month”. “The Pregnancy Journal” goes day by day, which seems to be a bit much – nobody’s pregnancy is going to follow the book exactly. With this book, I can read about what will be happening the following week and share the information with my husband, which makes him feel more involved. I love the fact that it explains how I am changing, how the baby is changing, and what I should be expecting (it’s very reasuring when a book tells you that the crazy things you are doing and feeling are normal). I recommend this book over any of the others I have seen.

I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby now, and I still go to this to read what’s going on every week. “What to Expect” is good as well, but after you read your info for the month, that’s it. (The two together are a great pair.) Week-by-Week gives you something to read every week, and I know we all want to know what’s going on right then!! I have fun talking to friends and family about the baby, and being able to tell them just how big he/she is each week.I believe that knowledge alleviates fear, so being told what problems could happen in pregnancy is great. I would rather be informed with what could happen than know nothing. Other books I’ve seen have a “when something goes wrong” chapter or something else to that effect. I would rather read about possible problems a little at a time, since most women don’t have real problems with pregnancy, than getting the full blow of it all at once and then feeling overwhelmed and REALLY worried.As for other reviews I read about Dr. Curtis arbitrarily placing topics with different weeks, is it that hard to look in the index and find what you’re looking for? Would any book on pregnancy be able to properly place every person’s symptoms and problems exactly when they experience them?I love this book, and always recommend it to friends I hear are pregnant!

Originally I bought What to Expect When You’re Expecting because that’s all I heard about. When a friend recommended this book I was really excited. I think the week by week illustrations are great. Unlike What to Expect, with this book I actually felt I was learning about my baby’s development as the weeks went on, i.e. the size, changes in my body etc.For those who have critisized this book by saying it puts too many worry and unnecessary information in your head, what you would you prefer: knowing what could go wrong or being totally ignorant throughout your whole pregnancy?!?! Of course not everyone will get vericose veins or have dizzy spells, but wouldn’t you want to know about it if you did? I don’t smoke but every pregnancy book I read had a huge section devoted to the dangers of smoking – should I therefore think the book provides me with useless information? No, instead I glanced over it and moved on. I bet these people would also complain if the book wasn’t comprehensive enough when they actually did have a problem with their pregnancy.This book, combined with what to Expect (and of course my doctor) is more than enough information for me to feel educated and prepared for my pregnancy.

The greatest strength of this book is the week-by-week format. It outlines specific changes that are pretty close to exactly as predicted. We noticed many of the things and then read them that week, ie. phlegmyness, inability to travel more than an hour and dryness at night just to name a few. This book is very well balanced and it tends to focuses more on the positives of pregnancy and not the possible complications. This is the 5th Edition of this book with millions of copies sold. Overall it is a great help. I definitely recommend it to all expectant couples. These authors also wrote a number of supporting or complimentary books:

As a midwife, I was very disappointed in this book, mainly because of the negative, fear-based undertones throughout the entire text. “Week by week” a woman is educated about every tiny, rare complication or problem that could occur for her and her baby. I believe in education, but this is ridiculous.
