ordering ttc books -- suggestions?

thiswillbe

(Who has the pcp/ttc book list? I can't remember.)

I'm about to place a book order, and would like to throw a couple of good ttc books in there. I already have the Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy on my list, and I already own the Brill book. What am I missing?

Also, if anyone has a favorite nutrition book for pregnancy, I'd like to hear it (I figure it'd be easier to change my habits now rather than later). I am trying to eat a more balanced diet, and while I think I am doing a good job, it would help to have some guidelines and suggestions. Any thoughts on Jones' "Eating for Pregnancy" book?

we have

The Ultimate Guide to Pregnancy for Lesbians: How to Stay Sane and Care for Yourself from Pre-conception through Birth, 2nd Edition

 and

The Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception, Pregnancy, and Birth by Kim Toevs and Stephanie Brill

actually we have two of one or both of them (I messed up my order on ama.zon).  If you would like them email me and I will send them to you.

Oh my goodness, what a kind and generous offer! The cover of the Ultimate Guide book looks familiar-- let me check at home first to make sure I don't have it already. Thank you so much!!

For non-lesbian specific books, I like these:

• Pregnancy Childbirth and the Newborn (Simkin)
• Our Bodies Ourselves: Pregnancy and Birth (Boston Women's Health Book Collective)
• Anything by Dr Sears

 I just tried to order these yesterday- I was able to order the first one through Amazon but The Essential Guide is no longer available?  I finally found it through eCampus or something like that but it's a "special order" and will be shipped in 2 weeks.  Weird.

Just my 2 cents....we have found The New Essential Guide to Lesbian Conception...by Stephanie Brill to be a little frustrating.  I think we just needed more information on ovulation and early signs of pregnancy and it sort of glossed over that...and some of the nutritional advice seemed a little harsh....but that was just our experience.  One book my partner has liked is the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregancy or something....it is pretty het, but still a fun read....

The Essential Guide is the older version, which may be why you're not finding it. The revised version is called "The New Essential Guide".
