    I have what to expect - good info, weird layout and felt really old fashioned.

    Kaz cookes up the duff was funny but not really informative.

    I bought a book about birth and pregnancy for my second pregnancy after reading a part of it from the library in my first pregnancy. I can't mention it's title as it is associated with another birth website but I found it really informative and very in depth info about labour, recovery, and things to expect in the 3 different trimesters. PM me if you want to know the name of the book.

    I have 'What to expect when your expecting with What to eat when your expecting' all in one and all 'Up the duff' .

    I am willing to part with 'Up the Duff' for the price of postage if you are interested, not really my kind of thing... the only thing I really used it for way the baby meausements that are listed quite clearly and very exciting first time around.

    To be honest, I haven't really read any books that I would recommend, I think I am too picky .

    Hi there,

    I read Active Birth by Janet Balaskas and can highly recommend it!! I even have a picture of me reading it while in labour! I agree with the others though, Up the Duff is a good light hearted read when you want something a little more easy going!!
