Informative, well researched and interesting - By: Michelle Ryba, 26 Feb 2005 
I am currently at 19 weeks of my first pregnancy & am finding this book a wonderful asset. The first trimester is full of description of alll the changes that are going on inside with out my even knowing. The second trimester, there are fewer changes going on with baby & more with Mom. There are important tidbits of information including; nutrition & saving your back, cross-cultural examples of childbirth & pregnancy & proverbs & quotes which will make you reflect. All of this & it's a journal, but not one with blank empty pages that you have to fill in even when you're not feeling anything particularly different. A few lines here & a few lines there. Even the information is not too much to digest at a time, alllowing you to miss a few days & not be overloaded with catching up. A plus for busy Mom's & Dad's who are trying to get as much information as possible without having to read the encyclopedic books on pregnancy & birth.
EXCELLENT , I read this every day.. - By: , 20 May 2002 
A great day by day account of what;s happening inside, with space to record how I feel & what my own body is going through- so I can remember for the next time! I loved the excerpts on what goes on in other cultures surrounding a poregnant woamn, the birth, motherhood & fatherhood.
Very disappointing. - By: , 05 Apr 2002 
I used the Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal for my first pregnancy & was looking for something a little different for my second pregnancy. I was very disappointed in this title as it is purely a "journal" (ie blank pages with no prompts). The Anne Geddins Pregnancy Journal prompts you on each page with questions about the pregnancy which I found easy to answer & it made writing in it easy for me.
Wonderfully informative, lighthearted and interactive. - By: , 22 Aug 2000 I received this as a gift for my 1st pregnancy & used it every night. It's very informative about what is going on with your pregnancy on a day-to-day basis. It alllows you to keep notes about how you feel, your weight, dr. appt's. etc. I bought one for my 2nd preg. & it was great to be able to compare notes from the 1st. It's a great gift for a newly preg. friend or for yourself - I just found out a friend is preggo - so I'm sending her a copy right now!
