Must Read Books for During Pregnancy

zmasterzo · April 2024

Hi! I am pregnant with my first, due in October, and I am reading as much as I can. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations for books that you loved while pregnant or in the first months after. Emily Oster is fantastic and I’ve read most of her books already, as well as What to Expect, and am currently reading Bringing Up Bebe. Thank you!

Real Food for Pregnancy by Lily Nichols was the first one I bought when I found out! I also just got The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby and Child Care. I’ve heard great reviews about Bringing up Bebe!

Hello! Congratulations on your pregnancy! Reading during this time can be both enjoyable and informative. Now that you've explored the works of Emily Oster and "What to Expect" as well as "Bringing Up Baby Bebe," you may find Harvey Karp's "Happiest Baby on the Block" a valuable addition for your reading list. This book provides insights and techniques for soothing your newborn and promoting better sleep, which can be extremely helpful in the first few months after birth. In addition, regularly relax with Instrumental ( Listen here: https://shortringtones.com/instrumental/ ) or Guitar music to stimulate fetal development. Wishing you a wonderful journey ahead!
