What to Expect When You're Expecting

A book every mother needs

Bought it as it was known to be the best of the genre. It does have good info in ques-ans format , so can be used as a reference book. However it defers to your practioner a bit too many times. But would still recommend it

This book is meant for readers who have little to no knowledge of basic biology or women's health. I was hoping for more scientific and useful information but this is like joining a kitty party group with an aunty lecturing you.

Rápida y amigable lectura, me fue guiando en cada etapa del embarazo y aunque tuve que saltar algunos temas porque no tenían que ver con mi situación, la otra gran parte sí que me ayudó a aprender y documentarme de información actualizada, lo complementé con la app. Lo recomiendo mucho.

El libro llegó en perfectas condiciones. A mi pareja la encantó el regalo

I bought What to Expect When You’re Expecting for my daughter as soon as she told me she was pregnant (especially since I had bought an older version for myself when I was pregnant with her years ago and it helped me), and I couldn’t be happier with the choice. This book has been the gold standard for expectant parents for years —it’s informative, comforting, and incredibly well-organized. As a parent (living in another state 13+ hours away), I wanted her to have a resource that was not only medically accurate but also easy to understand and reassuring. The book covers everything from the early stages of pregnancy to labor and delivery, with clear explanations, helpful tips, an app for the phone and answers to questions she didn’t even know to ask yet. She’s mentioned several times how much it’s helped ease her worries and how empowering it feels to be informed at every stage. I also love that it addresses emotional changes, nutrition, partner support, and even those random little symptoms no one talks about. This book has been like a wise, nonjudgmental friend during her pregnancy —something every new mom deserves. If you’re a parent looking for a thoughtful and truly useful gift for your daughter during this special time, I highly recommend this book. It’s a classic for a reason.

Ho deciso di affrontare la lettura di uno dei testi americani più noti sull’argomento gravidanza. Molto dettagliato, mese per mese, pieno di risposte alle domande più disparate e comuni, con approfondimenti sul postpartum e su altri aspetti tecnici-fisiologici. Un testo didattico e non leggero, ho scelto la versione in lingua originale per conoscere la differenza tra l’approccio negli Usa e in Italia.
