The Pregnancy Book by Dr. William Sears and Martha Sears

Great book!  Tells you what is going on week by week and illustrations too!  I really like this one.

 What to Expect When you're Expecting--it's good.  

The Pregnancy Journal--Tells you what is happening every day.  We like it.  I wish they gave you more room to write but I'm happy with it.

I have a lot because I don't buy new books. I got mine from a thrift store for 35 cents each. You should try and find them used since there's an abundance of pg books floating around.

Your Pregnancy and Birth - very good and informative but brief. Covers pretty much everything but doesn't go into too great of detail.

What to Expect - good but kind of cheesy and outdated. Some people say it is often a worst-case scenario kind of book and can unnecessarily scare you. I didn't get that. I do like how comprehensive it is though.

Belly Laughs - terrible but I know I am in the minority. People say it's hilarious, I think it's stupid and uninformative.

Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy - good. It's not written by a medical professional so it basically just covers stuff that your friends who have been through having kids would tell you. It's kind of like BOTB the book- minus most of the snark.

Your Pregnancy Week by Week - I like this one. Especially in the beginning - up to week 12 it shows you approx. life size pics of how big your baby is. It's a pretty good snapshot of what's happening each week and I like it.

I don't have a pregnancy journal but I keep a regular one - just paper in a book

Your Pregnancy Week by Week is by far my favorite!

I have also liked Your Pregnancy Week by Week.  I would also like to add Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy.  It has a lot of information about pregnancy in general, but not as much per week as YPWBW.  It also includes info on symptoms, what symptoms to call the doc for and some guides for making the decisions you need to make along the way, like to circumcise or not, or whether or not to do the extra prenatal testing.
