Pregnancy books?

[Nurse 26]

Has anyone bought and good books? I got given one by the midwife at booking in appointment but its not very detailed

Anyone bought any good ones that are worth the money?

I love the rough guide and hated what to expect when your expecting.

Havn't bothered reading anymore!

I bought the Babycentre book which is quite good with week by week as well as other bits and pieces x

To be honest - ive not really done much reading. ooops. The one from the mw is about it and havent even read all of that. I much prefer reading about peoples real life experiences - like on here - cos you always get a good mix of info.

Thanks ladies!

Pinky i've heard that, what to expect when your expecting is not very good!

i_maclean, i havnt read much in the book from midwife either, i think i want a book thats got more about the technical bits about labour in it....must be the nurse in me

Some of the books seem a bit pricy, so dont want to waste my pennies on any rubbish ones! xx

You could try your local Library and if there is one you find very helpfull after the 3 weeks you could then go out and buy it, So far from the 4 i was given by a friend I find them all fairly usless, Afraid I can think of the names of them though sorry

I have this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Day---Day-P...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317388361&sr=1-1 and it's brilliant, I love my daily baby read


The first one I got was this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Expect...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317388417&sr=1-1 and it's rubbish, I got rid of it in a few days.

I didn't really bother buying books this time, I just use this site http://www.babycentre.co.uk/ pretty much tells you all you want to know it has videos and all the stages of your baby and you, tons of stuff on there, I love it

A friend gave me 'What to expect when you're expecting' which is just ok, but another friend gave me 'Your pregnancy bible' by Dr Anne Deans which I like. Every week my OH and I sit down on the sofa and read what's happening with the bean this week!! Goes all the way from pre-conception to post-birth.

I'm selling a good book "the best friends guide to pregnancy"

It's in the classifieds section if any of you girls are interested

I read tracy Hogg's "baby whisperer" and thought she was fab and gave good common sense guidance for new mums with their LO's. Enjoy your reading xx
