What To Expect When You're Expecting has been my go-to pregnancy book. I also have a bunch of pg apps on my iPhone - I'm Expecting, What to Expect (based on the book), Pregnancy, and Parenting.

I like Your pregnancy week by week. WTEWYE is good too, but if you are the paranoid type at all ( I totally am) it seems to feed my paranoia so I have to be careful when reading that one! I also have several free iPhone apps, including one by babycenter.
After 3 years, 3 losses, and 3 IVF's, our little girls have arrived!
My old OB in Florida to whom I was going when I first started TTC absolutely *hates* WTEWYE; he says all it does is scare the crap out of pg women. He recommends "Pregnancy for Dummies". I lucked into getting a copy for $2 at a sale (2004 edition, bought in 2007 and tucked away until now) and I do quite like it. It was revised in 09 and Im debating getting it (used fro Amazon, of course)
Re: Recommend your Pregnancy books
I like:
Your Pregnancy Week by Week and Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy.
I agree with what PP said about WTEWYE feeding paranoia!
Baby Bargains is a must-read!
I liked the week by week one the best.
Baby Bargains is also a must - I used it a lot!
this. Total life saver and makes registering so much easier.
I wish I could give you other recs, but to be honest, everything else I've consumed is multiples related!
