What books do you recommend for labor and delivery and for after baby comes?
I'm not set on a natural childbirth but am open to reading about them I guess.
TIA
Re: Recommended reading list? (for the millionth time)
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth - IMO a good read for the birth stories even if you are not going natural. It might be a little preachy for some in the second part but I think that would be easy to skip over
The Nursing Mother's Companion
I have Baby 411 but I haven't really used it yet
Also The Vaccine Book by Dr Sears if that is something you are interested in learning about. I feel like it is pretty balanced and is NOT anti-vaccination
Here's the thread I have saved from before:
https://community.thenest.com/cs/ks/forums/31250517/ShowThread.aspx#31250517
Business of being born, The happiest baby on the block (or sleep whisperer if that appeals to you) and any Dr. Sears book.
I also like seeking a deal on a mommy magazine so I get to digest quick bits here and there.
Here is a good link for a few books:

I also recommend "Your Best Birth" to everyone- it does a great job of giving you all your options. It is the book version of Business of Being Born. I would lend it out to you but my other preggo friend has it right now.
Morgan- If you want, I can lend you my copy of Your Best Birth since I've already read it.
If for some reason Morgan doesn't want it, I'll take it!
Yes and Abby Epstein.
