Book Review of "What To Expect When You Are Expecting"

Despite countless YouTube channels and Instagram handles giving out useful, relevant and medically backed information about what to expect in a Pregnancy (provided you know which handles to follow and which to ignore), it is the 90s kid in me that was still craving for a “textbook” like information source when my wife began the pregnancy journey.

“What to Expect When You're Expecting” is a super-easy read that squarely answers the many questions soon-to-be parents will doubtless have. Not only was this book useful as an information source to understand the changes my wife was going through but also as a quick “reference” whenever we would stumble on something. The only qualm I have is that the statistics & the overall research data is skewed towards American and western body types and the “averages” mentioned do not always apply to Indian and broadly Asian populace.
