Any book suggestions?

Does anyone have a suggestion of a pregnancy book?  I've tried searching previous posts, but haven't found anything. I don't want to ask anyone IRL, because its too early to share the news.

First congrats!

I wanted to ask this myself so I have no reqs for you. (We will be telling people soon if they have reqs I'll come back to this post)

Ditto the Mayo Clinic one.

I read The Panic Free Pregnancy and liked it. I also have the Mayo Clinic one and What to Expect, but honestly have only paged through those a little.

I'm liking the Panic Free Pregnancy so far.

Mayo clinic one plus "we are our brain" by prof Swaab, the chapters on brain development in utero.

Sent from my Xperia Z, please don't mind typos!

The Mayo book is pretty good IMO, although if you subscribe to any of the "your pregnancy this week" type updates the info is fairly redundant. I also really liked the Panic Free Pregnancy, mostly because it told me I could have sushi and wine.

Not a pregnancy guide, but I also enjoyed Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies. Not much in the way of pregnancy info, but just a fun and thought-proviking read!

I liked Your Pregnancy Week by Week.

I loaned all my books to my SIL and can't ask for them back since we haven't told anyone yet. Oddly enough she returned the Baby Bargains book to me, but none of my pregnancy books.

I like the Internet, LOL. H is reading the Mayo Clinic book (sorta) and I've flipped through WTEWYE.

I feel like I need to just switch to reading baby books. I have not a damn clue on how to take care of one.

I read the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy and it was a quick read, but not informative (and I really got annoyed when she talked about "titties" and husbands "loving them" -- ugh). I wouldn't recommend that. I have the Mayo Clinic book, which is good. I'm also really enjoying Expecting Better by Emily Oster, which is an economist's perspective on pregnancy restrictions, etc.

I like the Mayo Clinic one. I had What to Expect with my ds and hated it. It is way to alarmist and freaked me out.

My favorite is "Your Pregnancy Week by Week".  I hate the What to Expect book.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ordered the Mayo one. I think I might check out some of the others too.

I also like Panic-Free Pregnancy. I read WTE, but meh. I have one called The Pregnancy Bible, and it has pretty good info (it was a gift), nice layout (goes briefly into infant care and post-partum care), and nice illustrations (unlike WTE, lol). Otherwise, I just go online for info.

I really like Panic-Free Pregnancy

Now I've ordered Panic Free Pregnancy too. I like the sound of it.

Thanks again for all the help. Hopefully this will be helpful to others as well.
