You've probably all heard of this....

But, while at Borders bookstore last week, I picked up a copy of "What To Expect Before You're Expecting" (have never heard of that version!) and wasn't sure if it was of any help to anyone starting to TTC.  I haven't cracked it open yet but I hope to tonight.

Also, apparently there's a knockoff book called "What To Expect When You're Expected" that looks kinda funny.  https://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Youre-Expected/dp/0385526474/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1259612162&sr=1-1

If this has been mentioned a zillion times before I apologize!

I did get a copy of What to Expect Before You're Expecting very early in our attempts at TTC... it's a nice, very general overview.  Then I started lurking here and was told about Taking Charge of Your Feritility, which I find to be a more informative book.  Hadn't heard of the funny, satirical version, though.  Thanks!

I picked it up at the library a few months back. Honestly, I didn't think it was really worth my time. I knew more than the book told me, but I had also been on here for quite some time and read TCOYF. Hopefully you like it though!

I heard a radio interview with the "What to Expect When You're Expected" author and it sounds hilarious!  It's a guide to pregnancy for the fetus.

I bought it and read it cover to cover (I am a book lover) and I found it interesting and insightful but before I started reading it I knew NOTHING about TTC other then you had to have sex to make a baby. If you already know the basics it might be a little dull!! Also, it was a little juvinille with some of it's terminology, but I thought it was funny, others might not!

I learned a lot about charting and CM and diet and the fact that sperm can actually live for a few days in there but the egg dies in 24 hours.
