Fave book to read at start of pregnancy?

[HoneySpider]

Ok, I feel like I spent a lot of time learning all about TTC, but now I need to learn about being pregnant! What are some of your recommendations for books to read early on?

This all feels very overwhelming, like I don't know where to start. I need something to read to help guide me.

The Mayo book is good.

I would highly recommend skipping What To Expect. I hated it.

I didn't mind What to Expect. I also downloaded the WTE app which gives daily tips and advice. As well, the babycenter weekly emails were great.

And of course, you must read the Alphamom weekly calendar, to put life in perspective: alphamom.com/pregnancy-calendar-overview/

Thanks! I'll check these out.

I liked WTE and the Mayo Clinic one on my ipad. I really like the apps more. I like WTE, babycenter, and babybump (I think that's what it's called.. it's a dark pink and has a silhouette of a pregnant chick)

I ordered the Mayo book and figure I will start there and also play around with some apps. Thanks!

Yes, the Mayo book is the best!

I also read Dad's Pregnant, Too! I guess it is for dad's, but it's got lots of tips, in short, easy to read spurts, which is great for my limited attention span.
