Does your partner have email? If he does there are websites that give you weekly updats on what is happening int he pregnancy and then when the baby is born. Just do a google search on weekly pregnancy emails and see what comes up. I had a few different sites emailing me each week with the what to expect, etc and also helpful things for dads.

can highly recommend sheila kitzingers 'pregnancy and birth' (new edition). fantastic IMO. she also provides some post-birth info and gives week by week stuff too. loved it.

local library can be great to get them from!

Highly second 'grub17's' opinion on Juju's Sundin's book with Sarah Murdoch. Brilliant ideas and ways to handle your labour with confidence. I used this with my first bub it really helped me when I had no idea what I was about to face. Goes through a lot of things that your partner can help you with throughout the labour too... Priceless IMO.
Up the duff was very good too. Bit of a laugh with good facts aswell. What to expect when your expecting can be a bit old fashioned but all the info is there.

I've got Up The Duff and What to Expect When You're Expecting and love them both. Definitley look at buying them at Kmart, Target or Big W as they're much cheaper or look online or go to a secondhand book shop.

Up The Duff is fun but informative. It's great to read about the novel side of pregnancy.

What to Expect is very detailed and has lots of excellent medical info so I use that one when something happens that I'm not sure about, like braxton hicks

i wouldnt waste your time or money on up the duff or what to expect when expecting both are not particularly "useful" books, just fluffy pg books really. it wont really prepare you for labour and birth.

Birth Skills by Juju Sundin
birthing from within by pam england
janet blaskas books are great

That may be true (I can't say for sure yet as I haven't been through labour) but they do give a really good insight into what is happening to you and bubs each week, which is what Bee asked for.
