I'm sure this must have been asked before, so sorry if this is a major repeat, but what are the best books to get to learn about pregnancy? I'm so excited, so I need more reading material : )
I liked What to Expect for my first pregnancy. Didn't read the book cover to cover, but it was useful when I had a question/symptom that I could quickly read up on.
I think I have every.single.pregnancy.book ever made.... and my favorite is " Pregnancy Day by Day" . It's an illustrated daily countdown from conception to birth and after... the pictures are all real and amazing!
It doesn't tell you how you "should" feel... it just tells you what's happening. LOVE it

A rejection is Gods protection. A dissapointment is His reappointment
Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy is pretty witty & Belly Laughts by Jenny McCarthy is pretty funny too (not so much textbook worthy, but a quick easy read)
I would pass on the What to Expect When You're Expecting...a lot of the information in that book I couldn't care less about.
Your Pregnancy Week by Week was pretty good though too!
