Pregnancy/Baby Books

[lauren-kate]

What do you own?

I have;

Jo Frost's Confident Baby Care
Baby and Child Healthcare - Dr Miriam Stoppard
Soothe your baby the natural way - Pamela Rhatigan
Top 100 Baby Purees - Annabel Karmel (plus some older baby/toddler ones)
Amazing Baby - A first guide to baby signing

And.. I've just pre-ordered "The Second Baby Survival Guide: How to stay calm and enjoy life with a new baby and a toddler" - Naia Edwards

I'm obsessed with collecting and reading books

After recommendations on here i bought 2nd hand off ebay and amazon what to expect when your expecting and Myleene Klass' pregnancy book (forgotten actual name of book), they both are really good xx

I have "The Mother of all Pregnancy Books" - can't remember the author. It's pretty good.
I've been recommended "The Happiest Baby on the Block" for when she's here. Again, can't remember the author. (I know, I'm useless!)

I never came across 'What to Expect when You're Expecting', but I found the follow-up, 'What to Expect in the First Year', very helpful as long as you ignore every single thing they say about food (they are deeply weird health-food obsessed Californians, and it got to the point where if I read the word 'juice-sweetened' one more time, the book was going out of the window).

I'm only 6 1/2 weeks gone but have already bought and read " The Best Friend's Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicki Iovine. It's hilarious and tells you all the things that the doctor/midwife won't! I'd recommend it cos it's full of useful info as well as being funny.

I also bought "Your Pregnancy Bible" by Anne Deans. It's a very sensible book and is your typical book to take you week by week through your pregnancy. It doesn't talk down to you but also doesn't assume you know everything, so I think its really good. It got 5 stars from Amazon customers which is what made me buy it.

As I type, Molly is going into labour in Coronation Street, and making a hell of a racket... DH keeps telling me that she's making a fuss and that it doesn't really hurt...

For my first child I bought the "what to expect when your expecting" and found it extremely good....all information easily understandable and I found it quite calming as a first time mother - it pretty much covered anything that I worried about or was wondering about.

There were other books too which I cant remember the name of, for the toddler /early childhood years - think actually they may have been the free ones from NHS Lol they were good also!

so not reading anything this time round - I've forgotten everything but Im just feeling so relaxed I dont feel the need..at the minute!

I'm so out of date with it all what with my boy being 12 I went and bought all sorts and stuff for dada too, and all the mags,. God knows why.

A friend gave me "What to expect when you're expecting" and "The complete johnson & johnson book of mother and baby care"

If anyone can recommend any others?
