Sort of a pregnancy bible without calling itself one, the “Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy” is the only book you’ll need to answer the endless list of questions you’ll have during your most fabulous forty weeks. A plethora of accurate information from such a reputable source as the Mayo Clinic, moms and dads-to-be alike will appreciate the week-by-week accounts of the baby’s development, information on how dozens of previous health conditions (such as HIV and diabetes) can affect pregnancy, self-care tips for side effects like nausea and back pain, sidebars that explain the difference between identical and fraternal twins, and more. It may even provide you with more information than you need! One feature we love about this book is the series of "decision guides," which help parents make those hard choices about breastfeeding, circumcision and whether or not to go back to work. While some parents may be intimidated by the book’s cool, no-nonsense tone, most readers will find great reassurance in the straightforward manner in which the information is presented. After using the “Mayo Clinic Guide,” one mother said, “Instead of searching the index or having to take a wild guess at which chapter a subject might land in, I could find it easily in the reference guide. Blessed simplicity!” Once she started reading, she said, her other pregnancy books went back on the shelf and stayed there. Pick up a copy here.
