I'm someone who gets easily overwhelmed by large amounts of new information - imagine how exasperated I felt trying to wrap my pregnant brain around ALL the different preggo book options, and the anxiety at opening each book and finding pages and pages of waaaaaay too much information.
When my hubby brought this book home for me, I almost did a little dance. It is full of great, basic, IMPARTIAL information with references supplied if you want further information. This allowed me to read through and get a good idea of what to expect without being completely overwhelmed. It also relieved a lot of the "oh my god, there are so many things that can go wrong!!" panic by giving a break down of all the things that can indeed go wrong that included what makes the likelyhood of that happening go up (i.e. downs syndrome if you're over thirty five). All in all, a great book for nervous, overwhelmed first time mommies.
