1. The Mother of All Pregnancy Books
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com:
A book that lives up to its name, author Ann
Douglas has packed a remarkable amount of text, charts and tables into this
500-plus page volume that covers nearly every aspect of pregnancy, from
considering pregnancy (is there ever a "good" time to do it?) to nutrition,
exercise, breast-feeding and the top 10 worries for each trimester. Incredibly
comprehensive yet easy to follow, Douglas, author of a number of pregnancy
books, also covers infertility, high-risk pregnancy, miscarriage and infant
loss. Charts and tables show how chronic disease, as well as prescription and
non-prescription drugs, can affect a pregnancy. Wondering if you're too old to
conceive or give birth? Douglas discusses the facts of pregnancy past ages 20,
30 and 40. "The Complaint Department" chapter discusses nearly every
conceivable ache, pain and medical issue that can arise during pregnancy and
how to deal with them. Facts and figures, as well as quotes that are pertinent
to each topic, are dispersed throughout. A huge listing of organizations and
Web sites that deal with everything from breast-feeding to adoption rounds out
this volume. Very little is discussed when it comes to postpregnancy and baby
care; that is covered in the author's book,
The Mother of All Baby Books.
2. It Could Happen to You : Diary of a Pregnancy and Beyond
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Martha Brockenbrough's It Could Happen to You is a delightfully funny diary of the author's own pregnancy through the first year of her daughter's life. It is the perfect antidote to all of the patronizing, horribly dull pregnancy books, which are long on advice and short on laughs. It Could Happen to You began as a column Brockenbrough wrote for the Microsoft Network while she was pregnant. During its tenure on MSN, it was the most widely read column about pregnancy and motherhood on the Internet. It's easy to see why. Brockenbrough's amusing approach to pregnancy and motherhood will strike a chord with experienced moms and the newly pregnant alike, who may wonder, as the author did, "Do I really have to wear maternity clothes?" Throughout the book, Brockenbrough shares her joys and her fears, and asks the questions every new mom wants to know, such as, "Why do old ladies keep telling me my baby is cold?" and share the realization that 'When you're a mother, your guilt light goes off the second you start doing something for you, instead of something for your child." A few not-to-be-missed chapters written by her husband, Adam, such as "A Guy's Guide to Baby Holding," provide a comical male perspective on the whole experience. Refreshingly honest and funny, It Could Happen to You is just right for bolstering the most important tool a new parent has--a sense of humor.

From Amazon.com: I played Mozart for Mothers-to-Be close to my belly while pregnant and would feel my baby move to the works of Mozart. Now, at age two, my son (the same baby) still responds to it--if he is screaming in the car I turn it on, and he's promptly a calm baby. I listen to this CD several times a week, particularly when I sit down and read before bedtime. If nothing else, it is a joy to listen to and wonderful music to relax by. And that is clearly something that will benefit baby.
2. UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child
Original Release Date: 1999
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: While many hospitals across the country send new mums and babes home equipped with discs of classical music to soothe and gently stimulate babies' tender minds, UltraSound brings together a delightfully well-rounded set specifically chosen for those still in the womb. Expectant moms will appreciate the effects of the mellow strains of Bach's Suite No. 3, the delicate playfulness of Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar-Plum Fairy," and Mozart's proven-to-make-you-smart "Sonata for Two Pianos" featuring André Previn. Debussy's "Clair de lune" is especially lovely as conducted and fluted by James Galway, and Leontyne Price is a warm blanket of comfort giving voice to Schubert's "Ave Maria." Indeed, these songs are aural balm to both parent and child long after birth.
3. Pregnancy Relaxation: A Guide to Peaceful Beginnings
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: My husband and I recently purchased Pregnancy Relaxation: A Guide to Peaceful Beginnings. Words cannot express how totally happy we both are with its content! Dana is not only consoling in voice and delivery, but her instructions are detailed and easy to follow. We actually feel the bonding and the contact with our unborn baby each time we listen to it, and the background music selections are extremely relaxing, they assist us in dealing with tremendous stress that comes with the ordeals of pregnancy management. We not only highly rate it 5 stars, we also recommend other future parents to utilize its content. It's a winner!
1. Baby Boom
(1987) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: The writing-directing team of Charles Shyer and Nancy Meyers (Father of the Bride) made this sweet satire about a high-powered yuppie executive (Diane Keaton) who unexpectedly becomes a mom and finds she can't successfully integrate the role into her busy life. Typical of the Shyer-Meyers films prior to Myers taking the director's reins on the wonderful Parent Trap, Baby Boom is a little wooden and more sentimental than genuine. But there are entertaining moments, for sure, and Keaton is a delight.
(1988) ~ DVD
Avg. Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Having delved repeatedly into the world of teenage joys and sorrows, from Sixteen Candles to Ferris Bueller's Day Off, writer-director John Hughes took a step into adulthood (or some facsimile of it) with She's Having a Baby. Peppered with whimsical asides and busy voice-over observations, the movie is shamelessly fun to watch, even if it doesn't add up to anything especially profound. Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern are newlyweds struggling through the tribulations of a youthful marriage. Along with the usual uncertainties, Bacon is sacrificing his dreams of becoming a writer to work in an ad agency, and his best supposed pal (Alec Baldwin, just before stardom) tries to seduce his wife.
3. Parenthood
(1989) ~ DVD
Avg.
Customer Rating:
From Amazon.com: Ron Howard's 1989 hit, written by fellow family men Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Splash, A League of Their Own), is an original comedy about contemporary life and the eternal responsibilities of raising children. Steve Martin has never been better than as a dedicated husband and father trying (and inevitably failing, as do most of us) to balance the demands of his kids and his job. The actor, like his character, throws himself into the part quite touchingly, never more so than in a scene where a hired clown fails to show up at a children's party and Martin's character unabashedly provides the entertainment. Good as Martin is, this is actually an ensemble piece with numerous actors playing members of the same family, with cross-generational joys and disappointments in the air--and parents in conflict, children in love, and so on. Jason Robards is very good as a patriarch who finally accepts the reality that the son he adores (Tom Hulce) is a major screwup. | |||||||||
