“I examined many books, and Countdown to Baby was my top choice for prenatal education. Our network of OB/GYN clinics treat women from all walks of life—from those in lower-economic neighborhoods to women who are corporate professionals. We can give this book to all of them. The text is thorough yet easy to understand. I like the question and answer format. It’s one of the best ways to teach health education.” —Margaret Comerford Freda, EdD, RN, Obstetrics & Gynecology & Women’s Health, Montefiore Medical Center, New York City
