Anyone have any recommendations? Preferably for a first timer? ☺️

Jenny McCarthy Belly Laughs was pretty good. And What to Expect when your Expecting is very informative.
I'm a first time mom too ❤
Good luck

My favorite book from when I had my son was the Baby Sense Secret. It really was helpful. There was another one by a French pediatrician that was very helpful, but I will have to look up the title once I get home. I will update this in a bit.

I loved What To Expect When You're Expecting! It was definitely my favorite. I also really loved The Kind Mama. Even if you're not vegan or agree with some of what she says, it was a good and interesting read with some yummy recipes!

-Bringing Up Bebe

-The Pregnant Body Book--this book is amazing! Like seriously find a copy of this for the spectacular illustrations of what's happening inside your body.

More scientifically oriented but really good (will be re-reading):

-Pink Brain, Blue Brain: How Small Differences Grow into Troublesome Gaps — and What We Can Do About It

-What's Going On in There? How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life

-Making Babies: The Science of Pregnancy

I'm planning to start reading: The Baby Book: Everything You Need to Know About Your Baby from Birth to Age Two by Dr. Sears. I'm also going to look at the Mayo Clinic book.
