Sorry to hijack the post but everyone on here seems so knowledgeable. Could you recommend any good pregnancy books for someone hoping to be pregnant very soon?

Birthing From Within
Steer very clear of What to Expect! It is very informative of the medical procedures, but makes many things that are usually unnecessary seem dire!
Check out Birth Without Fear on Facebook, excellent page.

I’d also recommend How To Have A Healthy Child In Spite Of Your Doctor. It’s mostly not about pregnancy or childbirth (though it does have some great info), but it’s a great book for expecting moms because it’s all about how to manage your child’s minor ailments or injuries at home, how to recognize when a trip to the doctor is actually worthwhile, and why doctors have a tendency to overreact and over treat. It’s written by a pediatrician and has a very level headed, scientific perspective that is useful through pregnancy, childbirth, and parenthood.

“Birthing The Easy Way”. Google it. It’s self-published and hard to find.
“The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth”.

I just came across a review written by a birth blogger I trust for a new book by Henci Goer (who wrote The Thinking Woman’s Guide to a Better Birth) and Amy Romano (a midwife with home and hospital experience). It’s called Optimal Care in Childbirth: The Case for a Physiologic Approach. It sounds fantastic.

Let me guess, her labor stalled when Dr. Scalpel walked into the room.
