I cannot find the edition of this that I read on Goodreads - I just finished the 2021 edition that has updated foreword, preface, and chapters 1, 2, 4-10, 12, 14, and 17-23.

What I most appreciated about this book was the attitude behind it: pregnancy is not something that just happens to a woman, and you can be an active participant in the decisions. It's important that anyone reading this adopts the mental philosophy behind what she's saying - do not just read this book and take it as medical advice. Use it as a tool to learn more, ask questions, decide, and, in some instances, be prepared for that decision to change. This was one of the books more recommended to me when I got pregnant, and I'm glad I bought it so I can recommend to all my future pregnant pals.
