Book Reviews of How to Get Pregnant
Book Review: Silber needs to update his thinking!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This is what Sherman J. Silber, M.D., writes in his "completely revised and updated" book How to Get Pregnant. "The biggest fear of most pregnant women is that their child will be abnormal, and the most common abnormality they worry about is Down syndrome. . . . These children are severely retarded mentally, and they usually die before their thirtieth birthday."
However according to the March of Dimes - Most of the health problems associated with Down syndrome can be treated, and life expectancy is now about 55 years
He also writes: "We can prevent couples from having to face the horror of giving birth to children with otherwise devastating genetic defects such as Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, mental retardation, etc., that terrify every woman who ever gets pregnant."
The National Institute of Health reports that most people with Down syndrome have IQs that fall in the mild to moderate range of retardation. Some are so mildly affected that they live independently and are gainfully employed
And giving birth to a child with Down syndrome or cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy or mental retardation is not a "horror." As a mother of a child with Down Syndrome, I was HORRIFIED to read Silber's thoughts on this. I had heard many great things about the man, his clinic, and his work in the field of infertility - but personally, He could be the last fertility doctor in the world and I would not recommend him to my worst enemy.
Summary of How to Get Pregnant
For decades, Dr. Silber's HOW TO GET PREGNANT has been the most popular resource for couples trying to conceive. Now thoroughly revised and updated to include cutting-edge information on all the very latest treatments for infertility, this edition will be the ultimate guide for prospective parents in the 21st century. The comprehensive text explains not only the essential facts of getting pregnant, but also how to solve onceinsurmountable fertility problems. Among the new hightech tests and procedures covered is the revolutionary technique of antral follicle count, which allows women to calculate at any point in their lives how many remaining years of fertility they have and helps them to determine whether to preserve their eggs. For all couples who dream of becoming parents, Dr. Silber's HOW TO GET PREGNANT will be the one and only book they need to address all their concerns about conceiving a healthy child.Pregnancy & Childbirth Books
