Before baby books

I am looking at starting to TTC in January and was looking for some good preconception books. Anyone has any suggestions?

Re: Before baby books

  • What to expect before you're expecting was okay, a lot of information was not relevant to me. I really love Bringing up BeBe, it's a book about an American raising her kids in France.
  • Loading the player...
  • Lots of women on here suggest Taking Charge of Your Fertility, but I'm waiting to get it until a new version comes out next month :-)

  • I just ordered taking charge of your fertility on pre order :)
  • There's also another book I'm reading right now called "Get Ready to Get Pregnant". Some useful information for sure, some of it is a big list of things you can't do. But it does offer a unique perspective and helps you understand what's needed for your body and mind before baby.

  • My personal favorite is "Before Your Pregnancy: 90 Days to Conceive..." (the title is much longer than this). I've literally gone through all 30-sometimes baby books in our library system* and this was one that struck me as objective and thorough. It covers quite a bit regarding weight ranges, eating habits, exercise, and necessary nutrition. Downside is it IS thick and some people might prefer an overview instead of the detail they offer.
