Summary: GREAT INFO., MUST READ! BEST NUTRITION ADVICE
Comment: I got this book without concluding that if Dr. Ruth cowrote it it would have to be focused on sexual intimacy. While sexual intimacy and gratification are thoroughly discussed, there is much more to the book (and to sex by the way).
All women and couples need to remember their sexuality during pregnancy and prepare for the changes that pregnancy and parenthood will bring. You can't expect to take sex out of a marraige and pick up a year later exactly where you left off. So many couples complain about how having a baby ruins their sex life or puts a major strain on it but it doesn't have to be that way if you are prepared!
This advice is so important it is shameful that hardly any pregnnacy books address these issues. This book has the best advice on nutrition I have found in any of the more mainstream and popular pregnancy books I have read. It is even better than what I have heard from Dr.s and midwives who only seem to have vague or terribly rigid and unscientific biases about nutrition.
This comprehensive book is very medical and takes you from preconception to labor. The most beautiful thing about it is the importance and validation it places on the couple who are growing into a new life stage together as parents.

Summary: A very serious and funny book
Comment: Most pregnancy books provide you with dry and boring information. This book co-written by the famous Dr.Ruth with Dr.Grunebaum, a New York ObGyn, provides you with refreshing and medically accurate information. It's different than other books because it addresses issues that other books won't even talk about like sexual positions, masturbation, and orgasm. Highly recommended.

Summary: Less about sex, more about how to be a patient
Comment: I bought this book in hopes of finding discussion of various positions for sex during pregnancy, coupled with emotional information and guidance about sexuality. While there is a bit of that information, the bulk of the information in the book is how to be a good OB patient. With line drawings of episiotomies, forceps deliveries, and a few dismissive paragraphs on home birthing and other birthing alternatives, Drs. Westheimer and Grunebaum strive to keep women in the dark about the culmination of the sexual act: the birth itself. If you need help in choosing an anesthesiologist or deciding which surgical procedure should be performed on you at birth, then buy this book. If you're looking for good information on intimacy during pregnancy, keep looking.
