In 2 weeks I will be in Hawaii just my mom and I for a week, and I would love to bring along some good reading materials.  Any books that you thought were great for pregnancy?

    My top 3 are The Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy, Easy Labor, and Babycatcher.

    I second Easy Labor, it was the most useful book I read my entire pregnancy. If you plan on BFing I recommend So That's What They're For.

    Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn was my favorite.

    I really like Your Pregnancy Week by Week and the Mayo book. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a total waste in IMO. 

    Also, I just bought the Consumer Reports Best Baby Products and have found that very useful.  But that might be a couple months down the road for you.  :)

    In Hawaii - just bring fun chick lit books!  You'll be on vacation!!   :)

    the only pregnancy book I really liked was Your Pregnancy Week by Week - you only had to read 3 pages a week to keep up.  :)

    I agree with pps, that you should read something fun in Hawaii...in fact while you're pregnant you should read everything you ever wanted to read cause now that DS is here I have no time or energy to read. :( 

    If you are interested in med-free childbirth I LOVED Ina May's Guide to Childbirth...there are some "out-there" birth stories but most of the book is fabulous and empowering.  I think it's a better read for 3rd tri though...
