I totally agree with Kelly. I read Up the Duff and What to Expect with my first pg and was totally unprepared for how to give birth. Up the Duff is amusing, but really doesn't tell you what you need to know. When pg with no 2 I read New Active Birth and wow, finally some great, useful info which led to me actually having the birth I wanted. Buy or borrow it, it is well worth it.

BTW, many of the books from the Recommended Reading List above can be bought from the BellyBelly store.
