Best Pregnancy Book Reccomendations!!!

[GlitterMum]

Hi I found out yesterday after quite a bit of a scare that I suffered from my first Braxton Hicks.
I then realised that I don't have a pregnancy book.
Does anyone have any recommendations of what pregnancy book I should buy.
I don't have much money so not one that is too expensive.
Is there such a book that has what I should expect week to week, what I can expect throughout this pregnancy, what I can/can't eat and things like this??????

Any help would be appreciated

Dont bother buying a book I say. Just ask on here or read the articles on here. Anything you can possibly think of will be answered on here.

I found BB to be the best tool and resource for my pregnancy, birth, baby and more and still more.

Thanks Alibaby,
I use BB all the time, but my partner hates computers so I thought if I got a book its something we can both look through together.
My partner is really interested in whats going on week by week and month by month

Up the Duff - by Kaz Kooke (sp?)

A fun good read, still with good information. I know it off by heart now, I have read to that much through all three of my pgs. I think it is about $30 nowdays?? You can pick it up almost anywhere - all bookshops and even Kmart, BigW etc.

I saw it at kmart for $25, AnR had it for $50

hi bee,
i borrowed a few out from the library. I'd recommend that and the turn over seemed good.
we've got What to Expect - which my DH enjoys because it's pretty straight down the line.. it's now in the loo for regular DH perusal lol. I read kaz cooke and it was alright but i wouldn't buy a copy personally.

I also have Birth Skills by Juju Sundin with Sarah Murdoch - this is for the actual birth and gives you tools for handling the pain etc. I've found it very inspriing and i'm excited about giving birth, not scared any more

the books can be expensive but you don't need the latest edition... so maybe try a few 2nd hand book stores as well.

good luck !!!

I have heard that about up the duff, my sister over east boughtit and said that its not that good.
I will def try the what to expect 1, I just googled it and its looks fab. I might duck past the library on Saturday monrning and see if they have it.

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.

Hey Ali, Nah my partner doesn't use computers at all, she hates them with a passion lol.
Godd suggestion though.
