pregnancy book recs
Wo we are going to start attempting the baby making... what good books or resources should I look at/buy for the whole shebang?
thanks!
Re: pregnancy book recs
Not a pregnancy book, but Taking Charge of Your Fertility is great for the TTC progress.
I do NOT recommend What to Expect When You're Expecting. They give every worst-case scenario possible. I didn't need the added anxiety.
I agree on Taking Charge of Your Fertility, great book for the baby making process.
I had What to Expect When You're Expecting and thought it was okay. It can be information overload but I liked that anything I wanted to look up, I'd probably find something on it.
I also had Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy. I didnt like it but I also think I had a very old, outdated version so it was sometimes useless. For example, it talked about how there are not many maternity clothes options that aren't high neck, long sleeve, tents... when there are so many cute options for maternity clothes now at Old Navy, Gap, Target, etc.
I liked Jenny McCarthy's pregnancy book, if not just for the comedic factor.
I love TCOYF, it is a great book. Good luck!
I thought Taking Charge of your Fertility was really helpful.
For pregnancy book I really like the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy. I also have What to expect when you're expecting and What to expect before you're expecting - they were OK, but not the greatest IMO

My MIL sent me The Pregnancy Book (for my birthday 2 years ago, before we were TTC--but that's a side note).
Its by Drs. William and Martha Sears and came very highly recommended by the nursing instructor who taught her labor/delivery section of nursing school.
(Side note: I'm a little annoyed by the book, and a little more annoyed that she was talking to strangers about my fertility when we weren't working on getting pregnant).
