Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This was recommended after I complained to a friend about how vague and unhelpful “Very Popular Pregnancy Book” was. It repeatedly would give no answer to questions and then say “Ask your doctor.” Well, Pregnancy for Dummies IS Asking the Doctor! The information is clear and well organized. There are subsections with icons such as “Don’t Worry,” “Technical Stuff” and “Call the Doctor” to help you grade the importance and urgency of concerns. I now recommend this to all first time Mom’s-to-be and anyone looking for gifts for Mom’s-to-be.

⭐Really enjoyed this book and think it helped me a lot for preparing for my pregnancy and labor. Definitely not a book you need to read more than once (because of course you will also be experiencing it in real life) so if you are having one child I suggest borrowing from a friend or looking into a library? However if you do plan on getting this book and dont need it, make sure to pass it on to another expecting person, as it was quite helpful.

⭐I love this book! It is easy to understand and it’s answering all my questions, even the ones I am afraid to ask. My husband and I are trying, and this is great!

⭐I just received my book, I already love it. I read a few paragraphs here, and there, and know it will be useful. This will be my first child (not due yet). I’m healing from a spinal fusion first. Exciting:)

⭐Must have book for first time moms! Helpfult ips. All in all great information. Detailed and all my questions answered!

⭐Lots of information and knowledge from the authors. Puts things into a way that’s easy to understand. I recommend for anyone curious about pregnancy and to know what to expect.

⭐Good information not bias, good read

⭐Lots of questions answered, easy to read and easy to find what I’m looking for. Being my first pregnancy, I feel more comfortable with this book at the ready.

⭐it’s targeted to the US..
