even though it's dated, this was the best pregnancy book I've read so far. VERY down-to-earth and practical. Great for any non-Martha-Stewart mom-to-be.

Great practical child-rearing advice, made more palatable with a wry sense of humor. An invaluable resource that resonated with me alot more than some of the more conventional pregnancy and parenting guides.

Tired of the Heaps of Pregnancy and Parenting advice you get from the June Cleavers of the World? Then here is an offbeat, yet down-to-earth guide to pregnancy, birth, and child-rearing that covers both traditional and hot-button parenting issues of our time. This book is filled with fun charts and graphs, hilarious illustrations and cartoons and an appendix of resources that will assist hip parents everywhere.

This will be my official pregnancy guide. A refreshingly realistic and practical point of view.
