Reddit reviews The Day-by-Day Pregnancy Book: Comprehensive Advice from a Team of Experts and Amazing Images Every Single Day

Lovely for you, that's so exciting!

My pregnancy book:

Day-by-Day-Pregnancy

It's good for tips as well as interesting about what's happening with baby

I am reading two:

What to Expect When You're Expecting - This is a great book with EVERY bit of detail you ever needed. It covers everything to the point where it can kind of feel a little clinical (textbook-y) sometimes. I actually prefer this but each to their own! The information in this book has allowed me to challenge information my GP has given me on occasion, getting the care I wanted. This book also has a comprehensive section on how to care for the baby after it arrives and care of yourself.

My mother bought me The Day-by-Day Pregnancy Book: Comprehensive Advice from a Team of Experts and Amazing Images Every Single Day because 'it has more pictures'. Its a nice book and the pictures are nice but I still prefer the first book. It has limited information I feel.

I've actually found that I read 'Day-by-day' more often for 'a flick through' - where as I pick up 'What to Expect' for answers and reassurance.

The 'best' book will depend on what type of pregnancy book you want, I guess.

1. The only book; by top London Obstetrician: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Day-Day-Pregnancy-Book-Comprehensive/dp/1405332107, and read one page a day with your partner. You get to learn what your baby is doing, and share what changes she is going through and learn a lot, all the while supporting her.
   
2. Don't buy too much baby crap. Get it used if you are inclined.
   
3. A Pacifier does just that -- pacify. You can start late / wean early but there may come a day when you have to give them one... don't beat yourself up.
   
4. Encourage breastfeeding. Great for baby, boobies for you.
   
   Best of luck!!!
