Re: baby book recs....

  • I just bought Mayo Clinic's Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy.  I'm still on the first couple of pages of the book, but so far so good.

  • My husband gave me the newest edition of "What to Expect When You're Expecting" for Valentine's Day. So far I'm really enjoying it. The woman I work for has "The Pregnancy Bible" and I've looked through that a few times and I also really like that one.

  • "What to Expect When You're Expecting"

    "What to Expect When Your Wife's Expanding"

  • I just bought the 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' and the Jenny McCarthy book 'Belly Laughs is really good. It's pretty short too.

  • If you're a nervous person, also try The Panic-Free Pregnancy. It sifts through all of the food rules, etc. for you and helps you relax.
  • I read a lot.

    best books ever are

    SPIRITUAL MIDWIFERY by INA MAY GASKIN 

    INA MAY'S GUILD TO CHILDBIRTH by INA MAY GASKIN 

    Regardless of the type of birth you are planning on having you should read theses the 1st is stories, they are a little hippy free love but good.

     others that I have and like are

    PLANNING YOUR PREGNANCY AND BIRTH

    it is written by the amarican collage of ob/gyns so it is factual and good  like it better than

    WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOUR EXPECTING

    it is ok but there are better books

    THE EVERYTHING PREGNANCY BOOK

    THE EVERYTHING PREGNANCY NUTRITION BOOK

    THE EVERYTHING FATHER TO BE BOOK

    all are good fun to read not amazingly helpful.

    CRIB NOTES by amy maniatis 

    funny little notes and facts my DH likes it a lot. 

    THE UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO HAVING A BABY 

    a lot of information pretty good. 

      I hated

    Belly Laughs by jenny mccarthy 

    and 

    the girlfriends guide to pregnancy by vicki iovine

    they just felt so shallow and I felt like they missed a lot. just me. 

     NON FICTION 

    DIARY OF A MAD MOM TO BE by Laura Wolf 

    fun funny I liked it. 

    little earthquakes by jennifer weiner

     I love weiners books and this one is good

    babyville by jane green 

    another good baby/pregnancy book
