Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I have been a practicing obstetrician for 16 years. I try to read the pregnancy information books as they come out so I know which ones to recommend to my patients. I found this book to be accurate and easy to read; the advice is sound and well supported by the medical literature. I have purchased a few for my waiting room and I will definitely be recommending it to my patients.
