“We know you're not dumb, but some of the information you get about pregnancy can make you feel that way,” says Dr. Keith Eddleman, author of the popular book on which this title is based. Eddleman and co-author Dr. Joanne Stone host this intelligent and approachable guide that is divided into four sections: one for each trimester, with the final segment devoted to the first three postpartum months. Produced for the Discovery Health Channel, Pregnancy for Dummies follows several couples over the course of a year, introducing viewers to a myriad of real situations faced by real families. In true "Dummies" fashion, the program features an animated Everywoman character who offers additional information, while small onscreen icons highlight “tips,” “reminders,” “cautions,” and “don't worry” points. Given its comprehensive, empathetic, and levelheaded advice, together with its instantly recognizable branding, this excellent and sure-to-be-popular title is highly recommended. Aud: C, P. (R. Reagan)
