Trying to Get Pregnant

What to Expect BEFORE You're Expecting...

Has anyone read this yet? I believe its relatively new [could be wrong] but I checked it out from the library last week. I don't know how I feel about it. I've learned a few things but some of it seems conflicting to what I've read other places.

 If you've read it, what did you think?

  • I got it....It's pretty "eh" to me. A lot of it is stuff I already knew....I guess if you don't know alot about ttc, it's a decent book. Still like TCOYF better...More informative! =)

  • I am fairly sure it has been around close to a year, as I remember it being mentioned off and on since I've been here.  Personally never read it, but I know its pregnant version comes highly recommended.

    DED

    I knew there was a reason I never felt compelled to read it.

    Not really. Others books are far more recommended.

     

    Ah....noted. Smile

  • I read it and liked it. I liked that it was easy and quick to get through. I didn't read the advanced fertility treatment sections (saving that for if its necessary) and I got through it in one evening. This is a major pro for me, as I'm in graduate school and already have plenty of reading to do. I like how it has little sections for the "dad to be" to read. I don't like how it can be kinda corny in places, using puns and what not. I can practically picture the author and her editor sitting there going "hey...good one!" Its easy to reference if I forget about something. 

     

    I think it just depends on how in depth you want to go. I haven't read TCOYF, but from what I heard its very comprehensive. We've just started TTC, and I felt like my "bases" were covered with the What to Expect book and what I've learned on Fertility Friend.  I recommend it!

  • This just showed up at my local library.. I pick it up tomorrow. I've also ordered TCOYF from Amazon based on all of the recommendations I've read here. I look forward to reading both.
