I've read Up the Duff a couple of times. I'd take reading it as more of a novel thing. It's really hilarious and quite interesting to read about Kaz Cooke's experience. It is, in no way, gospel. Even though it does have snippets of some information. I just read it and laughed all the way through. It was quite a bit of light relief from the 'seriousness' of having a baby. It's a bit of a Penny Pollard's diary through pregnancy (hope that's not too old a reference there). Borrow it from the library, I'd say - something to make you giggle.
Apart from that. I didn't read anything - I just hung around in here heaps, asked lots and lots of questions and read heaps of other people asking the same questions.

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 :lol:.

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! :D I agree with the others though, Up the Duff is a good light hearted read when you want something a little more easy going!!
