Having Your Baby
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Wow!!! This book is great for the African-American woman. Rarely can you find a book that meets our needs, but this met the mark. I find this to be an easy read, and will probably read it more than once throughout my pregnancy experience. It has eased my mind about some of the myths and requirements of having a healthy pregnancy. Way to go Dr. Hutcherson!!!!
Better than expected!

This book is better than other books I've read marketed towards Black mothers-to-be. It is very well organized, and addresses questions that you didn't even know to ask. I wish I would have had this book the first time around' its definitely a great help with baby number two.
EXCELLENT

For first time mothers, this book gave me what I needed. You will find everything you need in this book. I really enjoyed reading every page, and it has been passed along to other sisters out there who are having a baby. ONCE AGAIN EXCELLENT.

This book was given to me by a good friend, and it is the best thing she could have given to me. I found the book to be very informative and answered ALL questions I could ever ask about being pregnant. I even found myself referring back to the book with my second child, pregnant again about a year and a half later. I am here today writing this review, because I want to email this page to my cousin who is now pregnant. I promised her I would find it online and told her to make sure she purchase and read this book....Excellent
