I LOVE to read....and there are so many books out there about pregnancy, I do not even know where to start!

Anyone have any books they liked, didn't like?

    Do NOT read What to Expect When You Are Expecting.
    I LOVE the Mayo clinic book. It gives a lot of information, has easy-to-reference charts, and is scientifically-based.

    I loved the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy- it's funny but informative.

    I liked what to expect. Just curious why you didn't? I've heard mixed reviews

    I loved Taboo Secrets of Pregnancy when I was pg with my first. Humorous but honest. I tried Belly Laughs but found it too crass for me but a lot of people seem to like it.

    Personally, I haven't read it, and I won't because it's not written by a doctor.

    I read The Kind Mama by Alicia Silverstone. It's less about your changing body and more about choices you can make to have a more organic, natural, happy pregnancy

    Expecting Better by Emily Oster is my go-to pregnancy book. She breaks down many common pregnancy warnings (don't eat sushi! No tuna! No wine!) and gives statistical data as to why those warning are or are not valid. For instance, she notes many doctors say "some" wine is ok later in pregnancy. She breaks down exactly what "some" means, quantitatively. I find it fascinating and love the book. It really helped me relax about OMG RULES during my first pregnancy.

    I actually found DH's pregnancy books more refreshing than the stereotypical ones for us mommys. I liked Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies and The New Dad's Survival Guide.
