I read this book 4 times, one for every child I gave birth to. This book is packed with not only information, but relevant information. You get an eye full of statistics, medical and spiritual information, and everything you need to know to make decisions through the 9 and a half months and the first year. This book made me very strong minded about breastfeeding by the list of studies it revealed toward the advantages; so much so I became a lactation educator.

In this book, you pick your passions but you don't go into them uninformed.

This is a pregnancy bible; a must read for any new mom who is just starting the journey.
