Can anyone recommend any good pregnancy/childbirth books? I'd like to buy some, however there is so many out there, I don't know where to start...

Was going to get 'What to expect when you are expecting' however there is some really bad reviews on Amazon so I don't think I will get that one... Anyone read it and enjoy it?

What to Expect When You're Expecting was actually the only one I read LoL. It was helpful I thought. I found tons of info online too

I like "The Thinking Womans Guide to a Better Birth" by Henri Goer. And Ina May Gaskin's book with all the birth stories. Can someone help me with that title?

For general info, I liked "Your pregnancy, Week by Week." It separated it better than What to expect.

Honestly, I never found any that were worth buying. I got most of my info directly from my doctor and then used an online site for the week by week development stuff which is kind of fun (this is my fav site: Fetal development - weeks months trimesters your baby is developing inside how many weeks pregnant am i).

For baby care, I enjoyed both What to Expect: The First Year and The Baby Book by W. Sears.
