A Missing Link
When I was expecting, I heard everything about pregnancy and birth EXCEPT for the emotional aspects of maternity. This book filled in the gap for me. When I went through the moodiness, the mixed feelings, the soaring joys, and even the disappointments of this major life transition, this book paved my way. I own two copies and recommend it to all my childbirth classes now!

A Unique Book!
I have never found a book (and I own many, many on the subject!) about pregnancy and childbirth, and the adjustment to parenthood that covers the emotional changes as well and as thoroughly. Stern covers things never touched on in any book I've read, and does so with humor and an openness that is refreshing, regarding her own pregnancy experience and those of friends. I plan use information from this book in my Childbirth Education classes, and can't thank Ellen Sue Stern enough for writing this book.
