Here's what the one star is for: I liked tracking my baby's development month by month. It was nice to know what was growing, what was new, what she could do each month. Other than that, it was useless. The worst thing about this book is that it tells the reader that they cannot trust their own intuition but instead to take their physician's word as gospel. Instead of providing calm advice about things that might be going on of concern during a woman's pregnancy, it tells you to run to your doctor. The message this book sends it that everything is something to worry about and women shouldn't be trusted to know their bodies well enough to have an opinion. Ladies, DON'T READ THIS BOOK! Get Ina May's Guide to Childbirth for a far more realistic book that looks out for the woman rather than the medical industry.
