Are you reading any? Any that you would recommend?
I read most of What to Expect When You're Expecting but my midwives advised against it. Now I'm ready The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy (can't recall the author) from their library.
I've also heard good things about Ina May's Guide to Childbirth.
Anyone read it?
Re: Pregnancy Books
The first one there is a bit out of date but it's DH's bible during labor and delivery and really helped him advocate for me.
After baby was born Happiest Baby on the Block was our go-to on sleep. It was SO helpful. He does advocate cry-it-out after 5-6 months, so if that's not your cup of tea maybe try something else, but it worked very well for both our kids. (and neither had to cry it out for more than two nights and they are great sleepers!)
I also recommend Nurture Shock- it has nothing to do with pregnancy, but it talks about child development ages 0-5. If you enjoy reading nonfiction I can't recommend it enough. Fascinating insights on how kids think and develop.
As far as pregnancy books go, I read Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, and part of What to Expect. I personally fall between both of the two spectrums, although I lean more
crunchy than medical... Neither book were as valuable as discussing birth with other mothers and researching actual birth videos on line.

I have just downloaded Ina May's Guide to Childbirth from my library and I have a rend hold on the Bradley Method.
