Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This book is a worthy addition in this
subject area. Its format, information, and language are both highly
accessible and current. As the title states, pregnancy is followed week
by week. A chapter is devoted to each week, covering six basic areas:
baby size; mother's size; baby's growth and development; changes in the
mother; how the mother's behavior affects development; and things "you
should also know." A vast range of material is included, making this a
bargain for the price. Similar to but more comprehensive (and up to
date) than When You're Expecting by Arlene Eisenberg & others
(Workman, 1984), this would be an excellent complement to the more
recent The Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons
Complete Guide to Pregnancy ( LJ 4/15/89).
