I recieved a copy of What to Expect when I was pregnant with #1.

I hated it. I ended up throwing it in the recycling bin.

It is good to know that there are other people that dare question the advice given in the What to Expect books.

I couldn't bring myself to read any part of that total crap. My wife was a total wreck the entire pregnancy, everytime I saw her with the book in hand I grabbed my keys and checkbook. - Our boy is 100% healthy but by the book standards we should have been having a three eyed toad with a slight limp in his walk.

I received a copy for pregnancy #1, and I made the mistake of bringing it with me to an appointment, asking about this, and that, and this, and another thing. My wonderful Doctor, proceded to take the book out of my hands, and very carefully tossed it in the garbage. The Hubby was never happier! and my pregnancy seemed to go much smoother after that... sometimes it's the unnecessary worry that causes some of those problems....

We like to call it "What to expect when you're expecting...a dead baby."

The biggest waste of money imaginable, that book. For a lighter read..The Girlfriends Guides To Pregnancy, the first year, etc. are pretty good. At least they won't have you on the phone to find out funeral costs after the first chapter.
