Nice weekly format, but negative and worrisome
The week by week format makes the book easy to read, however I have found many unnecessary and worry-provoking entries which really turned me off from the book. For example, every week has a section "How Your Actions Affect Your Baby's Development". In one of the early weeks, this section is entirely about different types of miscarriage, which made me wonder if Dr. Curtis is somehow implying that all misarriages are caused by women's actions? Further on, there are sonogram pictures of a tumor as well as a knot in the umbilical cord, without any note that such conditions are extremely rare. What the point is of including these anxiety-provoking points, I do not know. As well, Dr. Curtis seems to take a rather traditional medical viewpoint to pregnancy. Overall, I found the book to be more bothersome than helpful, both in its lack of explanation of some dangers and its overabundance of worry-provoking entries. I would not recommend this book.
