[.ca] Pregnancy for Dummies (ISBN 0694521825)

From Amazon.com:
This book's title sure sounds a little scary, but as its often-hilarious testimonials from first-time parents show, expectant parents frequently feel really stupid. Like the vast majority of For Dummies books, this one is supremely organized and indexed to help you find the answer to most any question, especially the embarrassing ones you may be reluctant to ask your doctor ("Is it okay to have sex in the last trimester?" "How long does it take the ugly conehead effect to go away after birth?") and the more serious ones ("Can I breast-feed while I'm on the Pill?"). Unlike many pregnancy books, this one has plenty of helpful information for the mother's partner, including ways to deal with vicious mood swings, helpful tips for preparing for childbirth class, and seven tricks for easing her labor pain--even if she's threatening that you'll never have sex again. Besides chapter after chapter of information about pregnancy's physical aspects and how to stay comfortable during the next 40 weeks, there's also plenty of advice on emotional issues--from learning how to say "hands off!" to the pesky people who want to rub your belly to coping with postpartum blues. Some readers may be offended by the book's slightly warped sense of humor (example: "breast engorgement really sucks"), but the authors never treat serious topics in an off-base way. The book's definitely geared toward first-time parents, but for moms and dads confused by the many new medical tests and modern options (such as the doula \opregnancy coach\c dilemma or decision to freeze the baby's umbilical cord or not), there's a fine education to be had between this book's covers.

Child Devolopment Student:
This book is extremly well written. I am in a child devolopment class and my teacher uses the movie "Pregnancy for Dummies" to explain important conecepts. The book makes all the medical terminology simple to understand. You can't go wrong with this book.

pregnancy for dummies:
This book is a inuature version, not what i thought i was getting. Beware, it does not mention minuature in the title!

INSULTING TITLE:
Why buy something that insults you from the beginning?

Huh?:
Should we really encourage "dummies" to reproduce?

AWFUL!!! FALSE ADVERTISING!!:
The book isn't the one in the picture or the one you can view. It is a MINIATURE ADDITION. It only has a few pages and minimal information. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!
