Books?

[CasMae]

Ok so I've already decided and already bought That to Expect When You're Expecting because well I feel like everyone buys it so it must be good. Any other suggestions for books. Either pregnancy or even after. ANy ideas would help. Thanks.

Congrats on your pregnancy!

I have this book that I use not as a journal, but because it tells you how the baby is developing day-by-day.

Before DD was born, we read this book

and this one

I love Dr. Sears' book and use it as a reference all the time. It's much more in-depth than What to Expect the First Year

I loved this one with my first pregnancy. It is very detailed and I loved the pictures of different pregnancy stages. http://www.amazon.com/Conception-Pregnancy-Birth-Miriam-Stoppard/dp/0789451158/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1322251335&sr=8-2

What she said! Especially Happiest Baby on the Block and the Dr. Sears book. :)

I also liked the Mayo Clinics Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy..very, very informative!

[BabyLove1]

I really liked "Your Pregnancy Week by Week"... it details out what is happening with the baby (and you) by week so it's really interesting to read as you go.
Just a sidenote - if you read that one, or any of the others, just skip the bad stuff.. there's no point in worrying about things that happen in like 0.0001% of pregnancies, lol

I really enjoyed "The Girlfriend's Guide To Pregnancy". I had a lot of the educational books, a lot of week by week, month by month books, etc. But Girlfriend's Guide was so entertaining and made me laugh about the stuff I was experiencing (which I desperately needed since my first pregnancy was so rough!)
