You'll find baby-friendly foods to order up (say yes to yams); fertility busters to avoid (see you later, saturated fat); how to pinpoint ovulation, time baby-making sex, keep on-demand sex sexy, and separate conception fact - it takes the average couple up to 12 months to make a baby - from myth - position matters. Â
With the latest on health insurance coverage, preconception travel and the Zika virus, sex selection techniques, antidepressants, and information on family-building options for single women and same-sex couples. Plus, for the one in eight couples who experience infertility, the latest on both low-tech and cutting-edge fertility treatments, from medications to IVF and surrogacy. It's everything you need to know for that baby-making adventure. Â

"Definitely some great information, but it is a little repetitive. I like the boxes aimed at future fathers, but I feel like the entire book should have an audience of future parents, not just future moms. I would like my husband to get all of the information, not just the boxes."

- Okay, so to be fair, this is a manual and if you need a manual, it's great. It's not really meant for a one sitting read-through. In this respect, the prose is easy to read, the digital text organized with helpful in-text links, and it's pretty short and sweet. A doctor could probably tell you everything in this book, but there may be things you wouldn't think to bring up that'll help you prepare better than you would otherwise.
That said, if, like me, you were thinking, "Maybe I'm just not sure about getting pregnant because I need to educate myself!" and plan to read it in one sitting, don't get this book. Being a manual, this guidebook will cover all the good things, but also ALL THE HORRIBLE THINGS THAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG, and in one sitting it's exhausting and nerve-wrecking. If you're in 100%, you might feel assured having all these helpful checklists and reminders and vocabulary lists, but, if not, you might end up feeling even less ready and a bit unnerved. - Having a hard time getting through it because of the cutesy, tabloid-like lingo author uses. Every other sentence is a punny alliteration. It has some decent info, but it's written like a Seventeen Magazine. Some literary devices peppered in here or there would be just fine, but it's just about every single sentence.
- The book had tons of good information in it, but it was overwhelmed with the author's constant remarks and attempts at joking. I understand it's done to relate to the consumer, but when it's literally in every other sentence, it's a bit much. If she toned it done a bit, I would've enjoyed it more.
- I thought I was educated, but I learned so much from this book. I found this book while looking for What to Expect Your Child's First Year, which I wanted to read because I work with infants and its always nice to get more information from different places. when books are in a series, I like to read all of them, so I started with this one and will continue through the child's second year book. I didn't know what to expect from this book starting out, but I am glad I read it. I have no children and was interested in what women go through when they are pregnant, I never even thought about the before pregnancy process. The parts about hormonal changes and how to recognize them in your own body set of a light bulb above my head. I read sections out of order and reread some, Overall I really enjoyed this book. It also served as an introduction and I took some of the topics and conducted further research.
- LOVE this book. It touches on everything!! One of my favorite things about it is that you don't have to start reading from page one. You can look at the table of contents and go straight to the chapters that you're interested in at that time. I have read this entire book several times, just not directly from one cover to the next. I should point out that I read the original edition. I have only begun reading this updated version that I love so far just as much.
- Definitely some great information, but it is a little repetitive. I like the boxes aimed at future fathers, but I feel like the entire book should have an audience of future parents, not just future moms. I would like my husband to get all of the information, not just the boxes.
- Most of the was "well, obviously" type of stuff. It often read as condescending.
And the formatting is so distracting. - Informational and concise but wish it wasn’t so redundant/ repeating so much content across the book. It was a struggle to get through, wish there was more citations/ interpretation but I did read through it all, just to be sure I didn’t miss the key points. I’m sure whoever is a first time TTC candidate can skip a major portion of this book (though if necessary, could be good starting resource if there are fertility issues to explore / options).
