*Mommas* (looking for book recs)
I'm looking for books on pregnancy, birth, babies. I want to start educating myself more in this area. Any recs on books you really enjoyed and found informative? I saw the long list on the link at the top of the GP board. I got a bit overwhelmed with it b/c there are so many listed.

For before getting PG: Taking Charge of Your Fertility
This pregnancy I have been reading:
-Your pregnancy week by week
-Your Best Birth: Know All Your Options, Discover the Natural Choices, and Take Back the Birth Experience by Ricki Lake, Abby Epstein & Jacques Moritz
- HypnoBirthing: The Mongan Method: A natural approach to a safe, easier, more comfortable birthing by Marie Mongan
I did the Fertility Friend charting course before trying to get pregnant. During my pregnancy, I read "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and the Baby Center Essential Guide to Pregnancy and Birth.
How is it that my BABY is going to be 3?
BFP-2/25/11; 8 Wk U/S-3/25/11-No HB, measured 6.5 wks; D&C
The only books I have read are Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy (which is hilarious) and Consumer Reports Best Baby Products.
I also have On Becoming Babywise which is controversial but I friend recommended it so I figured I would give it a shot.
To be honest, I've only read What to Expect, and I only read about a third of it before I rolled my eyes and took it back to the library.
Also, I skimmed "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" because it's required for my childbirth classes. It was helpful, but a little more on the earth mother side than I am able to take seriously.
I liked TCOYF and the Your Pregnancy Week by Week one with B. I also read the Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy and Belly Laughs. They were cute, but not all that informational.
My favorite was a breastfeeding book called So That's What They're For, it was pretty informational, from what I recall.
I haven't read anything this time around.
