I gave this to both of my sons!

Amy's book opened up my awareness to male pre-pregnancy health. I was aware of the need for female pre-pregnancy health, but not male. As a father of two married sons, both planning of having children of their own, this was an obvious gift for them. It opened up my eyes and it opened up theirs.

Great material for any couple

For someone who has devoted their life to medicine, I certainly don't know everything about the field (and I willingly admit that). I have a lot to learn and a long way to go before I would be considered an expert in anything. Pregnancy would be no exception. There are a lot of things, maybe 40-50% of the book, that were review for me -- but even then, that leaves a lot of information to learn. And even the things that were review were great to refresh my memory on. It's also great to have all of this information in one place for reference. That's one of the most difficult things for parents, expecting-parents or those exploring parenthood...finding information. You get some here, there and then more somewhere else. Having it in one place is so helpful.The book was also great for my husband. While he has a basic anatomy and physiology understanding, he is definitely not medically oriented by any means (and I love him for that!). So this book was a huge help for him in learning some about pregnancy and preparing both of us for that event. Though he had done research on his own long before, I think (again) having it in one place helped and, for him, having it put in front of him was good. For a lot of folks exploring the idea of parenthood, they don't know exactly what to look for. This gave him the information so that he didn't miss any important topics.I found this very helpful and engaging, even as a healthcare provider. My husband, a non-healthcare provider, found it helpful and was able to get into it as well. Pick it up, and you'll probably have a hard time putting it down.

Second hand book!

I’m just wondering why my book came with an used blister of birth control pills???

Informative

A lot of the book was very informative and helpful, however much of it was way too detailed. Especially all of the different vitamins and minerals and how much of each is too little or too much. It could be enough to make someone crazy trying to keep track of their daily intake of protein, omega 3's, vit A/C/D/E, etc.They are also rather conservative about things like not eating sushi up to weeks prior to even trying to conceive.I used it more as more of a reference and less of a read from cover to cover.

Like many women

Like many women, I have spent many years trying not to get pregnant. When my husband and I decided to begin our family, I realized I knew a lot about what you should and should not do while pregnant, but didn't know a lot about how behavior can affect conception. While a lot of this book doesn't apply to me, I did find it very informative. It provides recommendations about alcohol consumption before and during conception for both the mother-and-father-to-be as well as recommendations for fitness and diet. While I eat relatively healthy, this book provided wonderful information about ways to eat more seafood and other nutrient-beneficial foods that will help with preparing your body to be it's healthiest while conceiving.The book was a quick read and not too scientific in it's language. I would recommend this for any mother or father who wants to make the best lifestyle choices they can prior to and during conception of their children.

Very Informative and Full of Information

This book is great in that it covers tons of information. It has answers to almost every question you could think to ask about what to do before trying to conceive. That's awesome, because you can learn a lot, but it also could be seen as a negative because there's so much to get through. What I ended up doing was skimming the portions/chapters that weren't applicable to me, and focusing my attention on what was applicable and/or interesting. I think that's the best way to do it -- otherwise it could end up being overwhelming. I expect to use it as a reference guide down the road as well.I recommend this book to anyone who is planning on trying to conceive in three to six months and who wants to know how best to prepare herself and her body. I saw other reviewers say you can find all the information in it online, and that's probably true, but I prefer to have it all at my fingertips with a good index in the back.

great for those who want to start off right!

This is a great book for those who want to be prepared and on the side of prevention when it comes to starting a family! So many books walk you through the steps AFTER you've conceived, but few prepare you ahead of time. That is what I appreciate most about this book. As a nurse who is all about prevention and wellness, I see true value in the information provided in this book. In addition, the layout is very user friendly and as options for those wanting go get through info fast or those who want to take their time (they have a "fast track" and "laid back" option for going through the book). I really do believe it can meet the needs of those wanting to start a family right away or are planning months or even a year in advance! But be aware, it is a pretty good sized book. I was surprised when it arrived in the mail...boarderline textbook size. :) Happy reading and planning!
