Summary: Lots of great info!
Comment: Both of these books give you a wealth of information about what to expect both before and after your baby is born. The problem I have with them is that they are set up in a Q&A format. Some unnamed parent writes in with a question about their baby and the authors answer. Though this does cover many important topics, I was hoping for something more direct. For example, when I was wondering what the signs of teething were, I had to consult the index, which directed me to several sections that mentioned teething, but didn't spell out the information I was looking for. I found this to be a problem mostly in What to Expect the First Year. I didn't really have any complaints about What to Expect When You're Expecting. It's definitely one of, if not THE, best book out there about pregnancy. Buy it. Just don't get this boxed set. For information on you baby's first year, I'd recommend a different parenting book such as The Baby Book by Dr. Sears.

Summary: Complete book(s)
Comment: Both of these books I found to be a great read while I was pregnant. What To Expect When Expecting gives a monthly view of what's going on with you and your baby, information for preconception, and labor and delivery information. It gives information on a variety of things dealing with pregnancy, from rare birth defects to morning sickness. There are great references to sources that you can look into for further information like La Leche League. What To Expect The First Year is also a great read and provides information about what's going on with baby, though, however, it is a large book with lots of valuable information, thus you might consider reading it before delivering the baby. But I do agree, these books do have a condescending tone to it, and I am a single teen mom and didn't enjoy the fact that the books refers to my partner as my "husband" whereas all other books of recent publication have replaced "husband" with "partner". The books also didn't provide me with much information dealing with the fact that I had a teen pregnancy, though there was lots of information with pregnancies over 35. Other than than those tidbits, I found these books to be a great source of information, though I wouldn't recommend it to those dealing with weak at heart pregnancies.

Summary: great!!!!!
Comment: This is my first pregnancy, and I currently live 1300 miles away from my mother, so I got this book because, well....lets face it long distance phone calls get expensive. I love it, and so does my husband. This book faces the reality of pregnancy, and is very reassuring (ex. wanting to know if it's normal for your back to hurt soooooo bad) I recommend it to anyone who is expecting, or trying to conceive.
