Does anyone have opinions/suggestions on pregnancy books? Is "what to expect..." still considered a good one? Or are there others out there that you think are better?
I still really think what to expect is a good one. I bought about 10 books with my first and I kept going back to that one.

2011 DD diagnosed with UCD
2012 started process for IVF with PGD
8/9/12 started stims- 8/20/12 ER- 20 retrieved, 19 ICSI'D, 12 biopsied 5 viable unaffected embryos 8/25/12 ET-1 "awesome" embryo-9/4/12 1st beta- BFP with HPT at 7dp5dt- Beta #1 9/4/12- 210!, Beta #2 9/6/12- 465, First scan on 9/19/12 Baby Boy due 5/13/13- diagnosed with a single umbilical artery
I have a great book from the Mayo Clinic on healthy pregnancy - available on Amazon. I feel like it is really easy to read, straight forward, and doesn't have a lot of fluff which I think is good. The biggest complaint I have heard about "what to expect..." is that it can scare the crap out of first time moms because it tells you EVERYTHING that could go wrong.

This.
What I did was check out the pregnancy books on Amazon and read the reviews. It seemed like a lot of people recommended the Mayo Clinic book over What to Expect.
