Book Review: The Mother of All Pregnancy Books

York Region Baby Contributor Tricia takes a look at a book that is fast becoming the must-have book for mom-to-be!

The Mother of All Pregnancy Books: An All-Canadian Guide to Conception, Birth & Everything In Between -- Author: Ann Douglas

"After starting to read a couple other popular pregnancy books, I still wasn’t satisfied with the information I was getting. These other books seemed too negative or to take things too lightly. After speaking with a friend about this, she recommended "The Mother or All Pregnancy Books". Finally, a book that tells you honestly about conception, pregnancy, labour and life immediately after having your baby. It tells you what you need to know, plain and simple, with an easy-to-read format. It is a comprehensive guide that is medically accurate and includes lots of insight and facts. Ann Douglas also touches on some of the difficult situations that may arise during pregnancy without dwelling on them or making you take away a negative feeling. Instead, you feel well informed.

The bonus is that this book is Canadian! It has a directory of Canadian organizations and Internet resources that are very helpful for new or expectant parents. This is the first book I recommend to friends who are planning a pregnancy or are already expecting!"
