I found the What to Expect books a bit scary and judgemental personally, although I know others who think it's great. (For example, I had such bad ms that I even struggled to keep water down let alone food, and that book said something like if you don't eat such and such every day you're "not giving your baby the best start in life". You can imagine how that made me feel! After all, I wanted to eat lots of vegies etc, it's just they always came back up!!
