The Day-by-Day Pregnancy Book: Count Down Your Pregnancy Day by Day with Advice From a Team of Experts

This book is fantastic and I couldn't believe how accurate it was, litterally accurate to the page/day for my pregnancy, it was packed full of information, pictures, references and advice and is easily the best baby book we have bought, I have just ordered the day by day baby book as it was so good I need the next version now the baby is born so looking forward to using that. 100% recommend as the best pregnancy book for first time mums.

I got this when I found out we were pregnant. It’s a week by week breakdown of what to expect, with useful information about baby’s growth, what’s coming up, and what to expect. It also breaks down things like the scans, diet, and hints and tips. The book is hardback, big and heavy, not really a bedtime read. It’s good to have a source on hand, as there is so much information online or in apps, but I found a book much easier to digest, read and be informed of my growing pregnancy.

First off let me start by saying this book is an absolute godsend. When I first found out I was pregnant I was 5 weeks roughly and had no idea what to expect as it was my first. I was stuck in that infuriating limbo period where you’re anxiously awaiting your first midwife appointment and first scan. This book is packed full of information about what to expect day to day and helped to alleviate a lot of those niggling little worries that play on our minds. Would definitely recommend the book! I just wanted to add that other reviewers mentioned the app that has as much information on. I thought I’d download it whilst I waited for the book to arrive, BIG MISTAKE. The reason why I say this is because if you’re pregnant especially with your first then we all know that we worry about every single thing. Everytime I turned to the app for information I read stories from other mums-to-be and the majority of them seemed to be about miscarriage etc. And you cannot help yourself from reading them all! I’m all for being properly informed but didn’t want to read stories that would make me even more anxious, so I deleted the app. If you do decide to go for the app then please do so with caution, and remember that everyone is different. Just because it happened to those unfortunate mums doesn’t mean it’s going to happen to you. Just wait for the book instead :)

The reviews made me do it! I purchased this once I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks. The conception part was interesting to read about what had happened, but I have found the book to be a Bible during my pregnancy. It has informed me on everything I could have wanted to know, in an approachable but scientific way. I still had to come to terms with being pregnant even though we had planned it, I found solace in the science behind what was happening and each day gave me something new to marvel at and helped me develop a sense of awe of my body. As time has gone on, I don't read it every day, rather every week I'll pick it up and read a few days worth. I recommend this book to literally everyone I know who's pregnant or trying, and it will likely be my Bible for future babies and future years ahead.

This book is a must for new expectant mothers! I bought this at 6 weeks pregnant and haven't looked back - I feel so knowledgeable about what is happening and how my baby is developing, and seeing the stages of growth daily through pictures and scans is amazing. It is a big hard back book so is excellent quality (albeit a bit heavy to hold!) and totally worth the money - I paid £17.99. I've bought other books too but this is by far the best.

I quite like the day by day approach of this book, but there-in lies it's draw back as well. Whilst it's packed with info, it's pretty much scattered throughout the book, so not easy to remember where to go back to. I have another book which has things divided by sections (e.g. exercise, food) which is much better for referring back. All in all it's a nice book, but the information is oft repeated and easily available for free elsewhere (providing you like to read lots of different pregnancy related sites rather than sit down with a book).

We are in the 7th month of pregnancy and this book has been a beautiful companion! It is made with high quality materials, showing great photos and charts while gradually feeding you with info that sticks without any stress of a "have to read/do" list. If it weren't for its high tech competition (internet material/apps) it would have been truly an amazing book to have and keep for life. Hence 5 stars deservedly. If I have to mention any cons, it would have been its weight, as others have mentioned, but it has to be heavy given its built quality. Some may actually like that, i don't mind it. Also, some information it gives, such as about maternity leave etc, is tailored for UK residents but that's fine too.

A great book that has helped us through pregnancy so far. Pictures of what baby looks like every day, what they're doing and what you can expect yourself. We're first time parents and we found this book very comforting. Mixes up calling baby he/she every few days too, which is nice.

This book is amazing, I have ordered many for friends!

Très utiles pour les nouvelles mamans

This was a very interesting and inspiring book. I really enjoyed learning what happens inside the belly each week during pregnancy. The book also included useful tips that were very helpful throughout the pregnancy.

Muy instructivo

An amazing book that gives accurate information of day by day changes that take place in a woman from conception to delivery. The book gave assurance and guidance to many mothers to have a safe and healthy delivery
