Summary: The best pregnancy book I've seen
Comment: I collected a number of pregnancy books during those long nine months, and read and re-read each one. My friend gave me "Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn," and it was the most thorough, straightforward, and informative - particularly the chapters on labor and deliver. And, unlike "What to Expect When You're Expecting," it didn't fill me with guilt and fear, just useful information.
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic
Comment: For the most part, pregnancy books are written for and read by women, but if you're a caring father (or father-to-be) that wants to be involved with Mom and the baby, this is an outstanding book to read and refer to. It gives the fairest and most complete descriptions of the myriad medical options available to women before and during childbirth. It never surrenders the idea that individual differences or preferences may make some decisions right for one person, but not right for another. It portrays pregnancy as a natural and healthful (but challenging) condition, not as an abnormality. It is the best of the many books available.
Penny has written other books, including The Birth Partner, which are also helpful and informative for Dads. They are uniformly excellent.

Summary: The best pregnancy reference book
Comment: After buying a bunch of books, this turned out to be the one I kept referring to over and over again throughout my pregnancy. There was practically no question that I had that wasn't answered in this book. It's clear, thorough, and very straightforward. It's NOT really chatty or super-friendly like some of the others, but it is perfect if you're looking for a solid and complete source of information (rather than a humorous voice about pregnancy).
