Your Second Pregnancy: What to Expect This Time

This is a great book about being pregnant for the second (or third, etc.) time. I wasn't looking for any advice on parenting two children, just wanted something to read about the experience of second pregnancy. I am a big fan of books on the mommy experience like Iovine's Girlfriend's Guides to Pregnancy and to Toddlers. Yes, I understand that pregnancy does generally lead to children, I figured that out after my first pregnancy ;) I like to read books about being a mommy and being pregnant too!

It was nice to finally find a book that would help me with all the questions that I had about my second pregnancy. The book was in excellent condition & arrived right on time!

I thought this book was reassuring and informative. It's been 5 years since my last pregnancy, so I wanted a "refresher" book and a book that commented on second pregnancies and how the first child feels. I thought there was some good information about preparing your first child. The section on working moms was nice too. I disagree with some of the other reviews that say the author is pessimistic about raising 2 kids. I did not get that feeling from her. Yes there were comments in the book that things will get more complicated, but that is, of course, TRUE. I thought the author had good information about juggling the pregnancy and the newborn period, while also having a toddler/school age child on your hands. Let's face it, most of these books all have information in them that are common sense and that most of us know anyway. The nice thing about the book, is that it is reassuring to just hear another person talk about the things that you're thinking of, questioning, and worrying about. I recommend this book.

I've found this book to be very informative as well as entertaining. Katie Tamony's approach to becoming a second-time mom is extremely reassuring and confidence inspiring.
