I loved the week-by-week format. Since I was only reading about what to expect for the current week, I didn't have any "spoilers", and I was able to stay informed while still experiencing everything as it happened, instead of anticipating the next development. This book was surprisingly detailed and full of immediately useful information (how to get a good night's sleep once it starts getting difficult), larger issues to consider as your pregnancy progresses (like how much a baby is going to cost), and surprising information (How is pregnancy weight distributed? only 7-1/2 lbs is baby!). This book focuses on the positive aspects of pregnancy and how to intelligently manage everything that comes up, so I found that it reassured me (as opposed to worrying me by emphasizing everything that can go wrong). I found it comforting and greatly helpful.
