This book hits all the basics without running anything into the ground. Used it myself 20 years ago and just gave a fresh copy to my newly-pregnant daughter-in-law. A winner.
Alternative to "What to Expect"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have been an OB nurse for over 30 years and I feel that "While Waiting" is one of the best books out there for expectant parents. It has practical, easy to read advice. There is a great section on nutrution that uses things that you can find in your own kitchen - not at a health food store. This book is given to every new mom in the OB office where I work and at every childbirth education class I teach. It would also make a perfect extra gift for a shower.
short and helpful, good section on symptoms
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found myself referring back to this one a lot, it has a very easy to find and read section on symptoms and bodily changes--what to expect when and what to do about it. I liked the drawings of how big the baby is for my older kids, too. Not very in depth, though.
If you want to know about Pregnancy this book is for you!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
"While Waiting", published in 1981, was written by George E. Verrilli, M.D. and Anne Marie Mueser, ED.D. Together they composed a well-written, highly informing book about pregnancy. Both of the authors are highly educated on the subject of pregnancy, therefore in this book they are able to answer any questions an anticipating mother may have during the 9 months of her pregnancy and after the child is born. I advise anyone who wants to educate him/herself on what a woman's body is going through during pregnancy to buy this book.
