Pregnancy Books
From LoveToKnow Pregnancy
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.
Types of Pregnancy Books
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.
Popular Books on Pregnancy

What to Expect When You're Expecting
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.

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.
