1: Great technical book
This is a great book if you want the technical side of giving birth. I originally bought the book to give to a young mother to help her understand what to expect in regards to weight gain, nutrition, how she will know she is going into labor, etc. This book does not go into these things, however, it was a beautifully illustrated book for someone that is going into the medical field of birthing. So I did give it to my daughter and she found it fascinating.

2: A GREAT LEARNING TOOL FOR KIDS!
I purchased this book in 2003 for my, then 13, year old nephew. His mother raised him by telling him the formal (not slang) names for his body parts. It was a great book for him, as kids like picture books. He looked at it and read more and more of it as he got a bit older. He already knew much of the information inside of the book; however, there is a difference in hearing than there is in seeing.

3: From Conception to Birth: A life Unfolds
Every expectant mother should see this book from conception all the way through. I wish I could have seen this when I had my two sons years ago. The illustrations are truly amazing. This is a wonderful book.

4: Good for the first few months...
As a first time 'mom-to-be', this book was pretty interesting to look at, to see what's going on inside my body so early in my pregnancy. Ususally books on this subject focus on a more developed fetus, so book is good for me, for the time being. I do feel, however, that a different book will need to be purchased for the later months in the pregnancy, as the last trimester is barely discussed.
Great for the first 2 trimesters, though!

5: Wow! Impressive photos AND dialouge!
I hesitated to buy this book because I heard some of the negative reviews, such as "the Nielson book is better" and "the images are fake, clay". However, I found it is more MUCH more informative and interesting than "A Child Is Born". It is modern, cleverly written, and really worthwhile as a coffe table book or baby shower gift. The format of the book is mostly photograph/art, with small paragraphs of information. My husband has been reading this book about what is happening to the baby every morning at breakfast, because it is written day by day, which is different than most pregnacy guides. It is free from advice, it is only factual.
