When I discovered I was pregnant I wanted some books to read to help me find out what lay ahead. I bought two books, Miriam Stoppard and this one - The RoughGuide to Pregnancy and Birth by Kaz Cooke.
I wanted an allround education, so have got a serious book and a not so serious book
This book is excellent. It starts with a pregnancy quiz and says to take this before and after you read the book, to see how much you learn, although the quiz is tongue in cheek.
The book starts with weekk 1 - getting ready for pregnancy and helps you to think seriously about what you are doing. Week 2 covers ovulation and how to get pregnant.

Advantages: Detailed, informative, great website Disadvantages: Go out of date fast

It is a comprehensive guide covering: Basic information useful before you go, a small phrase book section, maps (including metro maps) and a guide to the sites, hotels, bars and restauraunts. The guides to the museums and sights were particularly useful, especially the guide to the Louvre. We were a bit pushed for time and so it gave us a chance to plan our trip to include the bits we really wanted to see.
We tried 2 of the restauraunts listed, and, as expected the descriptions were fairly accurate. The restauraunt on the Champs-Elysee (sorry, the name escapes me) was picturesque and plesant but very touristy (as the book suggested).
I felt that the level ...
