Nine Months and a Day was my go-to pregnancy book these past nine months and a day! My prenatal visits started off poorly due to a lack of information, but once I had Nine Months and a Day to help guide me with questions to ask my midwife, I began to feel confident and prepared. I referred to Nine Months and a Day every month and found the exercises to relieve back pain and prepare for childbirth extremely helpful. The book is really well-organized and easy to read without being simplistic. My husband and I also took Nine Months and a Day to the store when we registered for baby paraphernalia; it was extremely informative. Lastly, I took this book to the hospital and read the "And a Day" part which gave me confidence about bringing our baby home. Thumbs up for Nine Months and a Day. If I ever have another baby, I'll read it all over again!
2 thumbs up from Mom, from Dad & from baby!

I started my pregnancy with information overload, and received 9 Months & a Day as a gift. I was relieved to read a book that was clear & concise that answered my questions (which were many) AND helped me plan (the lists are great), but didn't overwhelm me with too-technical jargon or too many "what if's". I have kept this book next to my bed for the past 7 months (only 3 weeks to go!) and have read and re-read as we prepare for labor & delivery. I highly recommend this book for first-time moms, for those of us who think we want to "know it all" (and then burst into tears because it's just too, too much, on top of all the hormones!) and for parents who value direct, to-the-point writing. It's been one of our pregnancy's greatest resources.
Clear, Comforting, Caring

This is really a wonderful book! It is filled with information expectant mothers need--laid out clearly and comprehensively. I especially enjoyed the many lists of questions (questions to ask about prenatal tests, childbirth classes, baby doctors, etc.), which take a lot of the guesswork out of getting the information you need. I highly recommend this book.
Great for the Expectant Dad

My wife and I are expecting our first child in February. Like all expectant parents, we are both very excited and very nervous. This book was a great find. My wife and I read it together last weekend and we were both delighted by the helpful advice that it contains. The format is clean and clear and there is a wealth of important information.I would highly recommend this book to any expectant parent.
