Best pregnancy books?

[Paleandsquishy]

I had a Google but figured I'd rather ask you ladies. Any books you'd recommended or advise against?

I have what to expect when you're expecting. Been enjoying reading it with OH x

 

[Nemi]

I have what to expect when expecting too, so far its really good, but I'm trying not to read too far ahead.

I also have Your pregnancy nutrition guide by Henrietta Norton, which is very good

Expecting Better is excellent. And Bumpology is v interesting x

 

[Paleandsquishy]

Excellent, I'll check those out. I've been reading The Positive Birth Book and I really like it. I'm really scared of giving birth but I never knew how many options there were. The book has definitely made me feel a bit less frightened.

I haven't even started thinking about the birth bit yet! I think everything is still quite surreal

If you can go to any of the free parent education classes at your hospital they're ace- I learnt loads from a class on positive birthing techniques, and another about induction. And they're free! X

@DeeDeeAbi I had no idea these even existed! I shall have a Google

@Nemi (I love Nemi. Goth mum-to-be here) I feel the same way like none of this is real. I'm going to see the doctor later today so I'm wondering if it will sink in a bit more then.

 

[DeeDeeAbi]

Definitely, or just speak to your midwife about local ones, she will know if there are any at your hospital at least . If not I'd enquire at other hospitals as where I love you can go to any classes at any hospital whether you seed delivering there or not xx
