Rating: 4 out of 5

An interesting intro for a first time mom, or mom wannabe, to the concepts and attitude of getting pregnant, but not an accurate biological reference. This book can certainly can take the stars out of the eyes a young woman who is blindly enchanted with the idea of becoming pregnant by offering a wake-up call to the challenges involved in pregnancy and sacrifices that include giving up your freedom, being at your baby's beck and call, financial stresses, long-term dedication of motherhood, among others. Even when confronted with these realities, I wonder if the surge of youthful hormones will override sobering advice. Still, there are some solid considerations for one who is already pregnant and some good advice, the best of which is don't be afraid to ask questions.
