I wish I had read this book sooner. I was given several books on pregnancy and childbirth by friends and relatives. My husband and I call "What to Expect" the "Panic" book. Most of the others are comforting but lack detail. In contrast, this book is very thoughtful - it offers multiple alternatives

For the most part, pregnancy books are written for and read by women, but if youre a caring father (or father-to-be) that wants to be involved with Mom and the baby, this is an outstanding book to read and refer to.

I really enjoy the personal stories that the Sears use in all their books to illustrate their points... at the beginning of this book they describe the bir..

This is quite an informative book on a number of topics, from drug addiction to heart disease to sexuality. My only complaint is the emphasis placed on "spirituality" which seems to be another word for religion. The writer seems to be implying that anyone who is not religious cannot be "healthy," wi..
