Book Reviews of The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians: How to Stay Sane and Care for Yourself from Pre-conception through Birth, 2nd Edition

Book Review: So good, straight girls can use it!
Summary: 4 Stars

I lent this to a friend who was trying to conceive and didn't know what to expect from insemination. I found it useful & so did she! This book covers many issues of conception, pregnancy, and birth. Not a substitute for a more complete pregnancy manual, though. Some of the suggestions are outlandish (eat the placenta?!?!). Some great resources in this book.
