Book suggestions?

Question

Hi everyone! My husband and I just found out that we're expecting 😊. This is our first child so we're super excited and nervous since it's still so early in my pregnancy. Does anyone have any good book suggestions for me and/or him? There's so many books out there so we'd like to hear about the books you all thought were helpful. Thanks!

Answer

Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin, Guide to Breastfeeding by Ina May Gaskin, Your Best Birth by Rikki Lake, The Birth Partner by Penny Simkin (great for dad's). My doula told me to stay away from the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" books BC they are basically a "this is what can go wrong". Good luck and hope you enjoy these! They gave me a huge positive outlook on pregnancy, labor, and birth!

Answer

"The girlfriends guide to pregnancy"- it's seriously worth the read! Funny, informative and not over the top like "what to expect when expecting" - that book should be burned!
