Didn't like the tone
I realize that Dummies books are supposed to be fun, but this one can be just plain silly at times. At one point, the authors suggest that when a woman is in transition, her husband should "promise her some expensive jewelry...promise to do all the cooking and cleaning for the next year...do whatever she says, even if she tells you to shut up" and so on. I found this a little condescending and silly, as did my husband.I don't think the problem is with the authors, however. I think that pregnancy simply isn't a topic that lends itself well to a Dummies book. I had similar misgivings about the Idiot's Guide to Bringing Up Baby, too. I think some subjects are best handled in a format other than Dummies and Idiot's Guides. Now if someone would just write the Smart Yet Neurotic Woman's Guide to Pregnancy, that would be the book for me!
