This is the best pregnancy book that i have seen on the market. it gives an accurate and detailed description of everything you need to know and think about week by week as your baby develops. The best part of this book is that it gives you a detailed description of how the baby is developing, its size and what is happening to the foetus. This is my third pregnancy and i still love reading this book, It is my bible for pregnancy. BTW, the picture are all illustrations so i dont mind leaving it around the house.... other books have photos which i think is so unnecessary! i definatly recommend this book to ALL pregnant women (and their partners)
