Satya — Mon, 11 May 2009 16:58:00 GMT

Staying on top of doctor's visits, ultrasound tests, Lamaze classes, baby supplies, birth announcements, and all the other day-to-day realities of pregnancy can be understandably overwhelming. Ann Douglas, author of the bestselling “The Mother of All Pregnancy Books,” is a familiar name among pregnant women, but you don’t have to have read her work previously to find plenty of use for this fabulous pregnancy organizer. Laminated for durability, wire-bound to lay flat, and featuring section dividers for easy access and rounded corners to reduce wear and tear, it includes helpful checklists, handy reminders about key events and milestones, space to record important details every week, guidance on every prenatal healthcare visit and tips and advice on all things pregnancy. What more could a girl want in an organizer? One mommy-to-be was drawn to it because of its attractive design and the fact that it is small enough to carry around in a purse. Our favorite feature is the “Complaint Department,” a section of the book where you can record any and all of your pregnancy symptoms. We also think you’ll appreciate that “The Mother of All Pregnancy Organizers” is full of essentials without being bogged down by a lot of extra information. So go ahead, get organized!
