Pregnancy Books

Pregnancy books are a great way to get a sense of what your next nine months are going to be like--from morning sickness to being unable to tie your own shoelaces.

There seems to be a book on pregnancy to suit just about any mom-to-be. There are books written in a friendly, chatty tone, such as The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy. There are also those which take a more clinical look at being pregnant, such as What to Expect When You're Expecting.

Depending on your personality, you might feel more comfortable reading one of these types of books over another. It's always a good idea to browse online or in a bookstore before actually purchasing a pregnancy book.

There are a few different books and magazines that are considered to be the "old standbys" in pregnancy information. However, there are also newcomers to the field that are gaining popularity.

The Mother of All Pregnancy Books: The Ultimate Guide to Conception, Birth, and Everything In Between by Ann Douglas includes information on all aspects of pregnancy, and touches on many of areas of concern, including the real cost of a child and common pregnancy symptoms.

Written by Dr. Arlene Eisenberg, this book is a classic among pregnancy publications. It has fervent fans as well as many who dislike its alarmist style. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a good book to read if you're looking for clinical information. However, it's not great for mommies who are worriers.

Written by Dr. Glade B. Curtis, Your Pregnancy Week by Week allows you to learn what your fetus is going through in each week of your pregnancy. Some find this book clinical and a bit focused on possible problems, but it is definitely worth a read.

Written by Dr. William Sears, one of the United States' favorite baby gurus, The Pregnancy Book offers the same sort of tried-and-true advice that his The Baby Book does. Focused on dealing with childbirth and pregnancy in a natural manner, this book is a great idea for those parents who want a home birth experience.

Written by Armin A. Brott, this book is for the dad-to-be to read while his wife is busy with her pregnancy books and magazines. The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be helps to allay the fears that a new father might have, as well as explain the emotions and physical changes women go through while pregnant.
