Usually ships in 1 business days | | | The average pregnancy lasts 280 days and the suspense can be excruciating! The Pregnancy Countdown Book starts on Day 280 and counts down the biggest milestones every step of the way with one page of helpful information for each day of your pregnancy. Here are tips from doctors and midwives, amusing anecdotes and quotes, and occasional gory-but-necessary details (if you can define the word "lochia," you know what we're talking about). Every page offers an interesting revelation. On Day 231, your baby will be the size of a blueberry but by Day 168, he'll be the size of a large avocado. By Day 124, you'll need to stop sleeping on your back; by Day 90, air travel becomes a dicey proposition. And if you haven't planned the nursery by Day 45, you're playing with fire. A perfect gift for expecting moms of all ages, The Pregnancy Countdown Book is a delightfully irreverent look at the craziest nine months of your life. | | | |

 Great for Family Reading Aug 18, 2008
Nice quick week by week book that you can sit down and keep everyone in the family interested in. My husband will sit down and listen to 10 minutes of this book vs reading things on his own. My daughter enjoys it too.

The Good: There are some useful hints and there are quotes from experienced mothers offering good advice. It's encouraging to read that other mothers share your concerns.
The Bad: Overall, there's very little actual information beyond a handful of tidbits. Some of the information seems outdated despite the fact that this is not an old book (this book implies that you have to buy a bassinet but the fact is you don't actually NEED one). Also, while the day-by-day layout of this book is interesting, it's not very practical. If you're looking for one specific issue, you'll have a hard time finding it.
The Ugly: A lot of this book is written in a "cutesy" tone that I found annoying. When I'm looking for practical information the last thing I want to read is girly chit-chat.
The bottom line is I'm a straightforward, matter-of-fact person and while this isn't a terrible book it's just not my kind of book. I recommend "Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy" and "Baby Bargains" instead of this book.

With my first pregnancy came all the excitement plus tons of questions and fears... after browsing a lot I decided to buy this book for two basic reasons: It gives you just enough information so you are not bombarded with knowledge, and the author talks about things in such a fun and interesting manner that relaxes you.
I not only got the information I wanted but the book was also very relaxing to read... I would highly recommend this book...but if you want detailed information then this may not be right for you.
Great Book ! Jul 13, 2008
I bought this book for my daughter who has several pregnacy books. She stated this one was the best of all of them.
 Not for me, maybe for you. Jul 12, 2008
This book is really ONLY for the first-time mom who has a corporate job. I happen to be pregnant with my second child, but it will have been 4 1/2 years since my first was born, so I was looking for a book with some refreshers about the little nuances of pregnancy (so many of which i have forgotten)! But rather than focusing on body changes, physical feelings, and helpful suggestions, it is more of a focus on navigating your way through your corporate job while being pregnant.
If you fit the first-time-mom-with-corporate-job description, i bet you'll love this book!
But as for me, I am disappointed that I spent the money on it.
