Guys … consider this a warning; this will be the worst book that your significant other can read and will make your life utterly miserable for the next nine months. It’s been over four years since I had to deal with this serie’s 3rd edition and I still can’t stand the sight of it.

It may have been intended as a self-help guide, but its alarmist tone and condescending attitude leads this to act more as a bible for every worst-case scenario imaginable. After spending a few hours perusing this book’s contents, your wife, girlfriend, whomever will become so overworked and paranoid that every little ache, pain, and irritation will become a sign of the baby being born with a forked tongue and three heads. The diet your partner will be instructed to keep is impossible for any human being alive to follow. She will be told to try and avoid … damn near everything it seems like.

I was also incensed that after reading up on the author, all of this “wonderful” information was being brought to me by someone with NO MEDICAL BACKGROUND. If I’m going to want advice on dealing with pregnancy issues, wouldn’t I want to consult an expert (i.e. someone with a degree)? Murkoff is no more an expert then I am …

I’ll be blunt, WTEWYE seems to be an EXTREMELY popular gift for someone who’s pregnant for the first time and it’s probably unavoidable. I came into three copies without any effort at all. I’m not going to stand here and pretend I know of a better source for information either, because (outside of … oh I don’t know … a doctor) I don’t. All I know is that if THIS is the definitive volume on the pregnancy experience, then God help us all.

I absolutely guarantee you, someone your partner knows WILL buy this for her. Your mission is to “lose it.
