What are some good pregnancy books you ladies are reading?  We haven?t told our family yet so I cant ask any of them yet but I really want to start reading up on what to expect.

I have enjoyed What to Expect When You're Expecting and You Being Pregnant.

I've been reading What to Expect When You're Expecting... I'm not super excited about it yet, I've read to the third month, because most of what I've read I've learned on here already.

Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. Hysterically funny.

Pregnancy for dummies

A girlfriend's guide to pregnancy

I didn't personally like what to expect when you're expecting-it made me too nervous that something was going to go wrong.

Also, some good websites are-

www.3dpregnancy.com

www.babycenter.com

Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy is a pretty good one.  It's funny and talks about things the other ones don't.  I also have one that goes week by week.  That one is pretty cool.

These two.

Your Pregnancy, week by week

Belly Laughs(jenny Mccarthy)-not to be taken seriously but it's great for a laugh

Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy-good for some humor but not too much medical information

what to expect is a mainstay for most I think. I have read both of Ina May's books as well, and right now working on a book called 'the joy of pregnancy' on my Kindle, but I don't really recommend that one. I plan to get "belly laughs" later on, since I have heard that it is hilarious.

I am in my second pregnancy and have read what to expect when expecting and your pregnancy week by week and I personally enjoyed the second much more. It tends to go into more detail about every week. Good luck!

I agree on Belly Laughs, its hilarious and true!

So far, I've really liked the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy.  I feel like it's less conversational than WTE (which I don't really enjoy reading).  There's also a section at the end of each chapter (month by month) that tells you when you should notify your doctor of a problem (ie what is an emergency and what can wait until the next visit to mention).

I have them all from my first pregnancy. (My family does books as presents.)

The Mayo Clinic Guide to pregnancy is by far the best. Your pregnancy week by week is good.

The Joy of pregnancy was ok, but it is a really light read.

I really did not like What to expect (very dull), you having a baby (the illustrations are especially horrid), or the girlfriends guide to pregnancy (an essay on the number of times you can use the word Girlfriend and still be legible).
