What to expect BEFORE you're Expecting?

TaraBrooksTaraBrooks
in TTC After a Loss

I just ordered my copy of TCOYF, and while waiting for it to arrive, I found "What to Expect Before You're Expecting." at the bookstore.  I figured why not give it a shot, it never hurts to know to much about TTC.

Needless to say I'm not impressed, everything in the book I have learned from you ladies and other boards.  Yes

I'm anxioulsy waiting for TCOYF for some real information!

    agreed (at least on the while expecting -- everything in there scares the crap out of you, and doesn't really give much info . . )

    Kelz: or others that have LOs = how about what to expect in first year, etc? I've heard those are better?

    I hate the WTE series with the fire of a thousand suns.

    I only had What to Expect when You're Expecting...I heard the others weren ok, but I went with the Dr. Sears baby book and really liked it.

    I highly recommend Dr. Sears for everything pregnancy and baby related.  Some don't like him since he can be a bit pro attachment parenting, but I'm not really into a lot of attachment parenting practices and I thought his books were incredibly helpful and informative.

    Eh, it was okay. I don't hate the series--I like the way it is written in sections, but it isn't the greatest either. It was worth checking out from the library and reading as part of collection of different books with different styles, opinions, and information.

    I have BOTH TCOYF (which I haven't completely read) and WTEBYE.  I read the WTE book first, and then bought TCOYF as a result of the ladies on the GP board.  I felt that if I didn't read it,  I would be shunned from that board.  I think both have good information, but you have to put those together with some common sense.  Just my opinion...
