Hi, Aliboo!

Here is a great list (http://www.storknet.com/bkstore/preg.htm) of books on pregnancy and childbirth from StorkNet's bookshelf. I've read two of them that I'd recommend:

~ The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy by Vicki Iovine (This one is a very funny, quick read.)

~ The Pregnancy Book: A Month By Month Guide by William Sears, MD and Martha Sears, RN (I loved this one; lots of info, but not overwhelming. Very positive.)

Anyone else have a good recommendation?

I loved "A Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy".

Along with the others, I have to recommend the Pregnancy and Birth Book by Dr. Miriam Stoppard. It is full of great information, and advice. I have used it for both of my pregnancies
