The book is divided into short sections making it a great read for when you don't have a lot of time. I read it in small chunks, and enjoyed this book thoroughly.
There is only so many times I can read the same information about pregnancy over and over again so I was excited to dive into this book. It is more about the science behind pregnancy then the symptoms themselves.
I learned things like :
- How my diet and my mothers diet will effect my babies future food preferences.
- Why my dreams are so vivid?
- Where does my maternal instinct come from?
- How different levels of stress react with a babies mind.
- What does amniotic fluid taste like?
This book was quirky and entertaining to read. The author takes complicated science and explains it in a way that is not only easy to understand, but also useful and relevant. My husband was even intrigued by all the fun facts I shared with him throughout reading the book. I plan on sending my copy to a good friend who is expecting, and will likely give this book as a gift over and over again.

I know when my mom was pregnant with me, the doctor told her to drink a lot of milkshakes. Subsequently, I read that ingesting a lot of dairy during pregnancy can cause skin problems in your child. As an adult, I still struggle with moderate acne, and I can't help but think it's a result of all those milkshakes my mom downed while pregnant with me!
I haven't heard that one about dairy yet ... it makes me think of all the cereal I enjoyed during my first trimester! It was about all I wanted to eat.
