Anyone else already reading parenting books?

I should probably be reading more books on pregnancy, but instead I am reading parenting books instead.

Three good ones so far:

* Playful Parenting

* Unconditional Parenting

* The Self-Confident Baby.

Any other book recommendations? They could be for pregnancy or parenting.

    I started reading Mayo Clinics Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy last night.  It's a week by week guide to what you are experiencing I got it over a year ago when we first started TTC and it's been sitting in my drawer ready to be cracked open.

    This is a very smart thing to do. I wish I had thought of that with my first. It was really hard to read parenting books when you have a newborn (and if you are like me and knew nothing about babies). I read the Baby Whisperer and will prob start re-reading soon.

    This is my advice to first time pregnant friends.  Pregnancy will take care of its self.  It is so much harder to sit down and read once you have a newborn.  Happiest Baby on the Block is good for the first 3 months.  Health Sleep Habits, Happy, Health Child is also very good.

    Thanks so much for the books suggestions! I figured I better start reading now, while I have the time and energy. :)))

    Have you thought about if you'll BF or FF?  If you're considering BF, the LLL Guide to BF is really good, same with Child of Mine: Feeding with Love and Good Sense (great book about feeding in general) as well as the other books the PP's mentioned: Baby Whisperer, HBOTB, etc...
