which was really informative!!
Also later on really recommend the baby whisperer book x
There is a week by week guide showing how baby is developing and another one explaining what is happening with your body. Lots of info on labour, healthy eating etc too.

It is ok... but dont really rate it.... some bits information i found informative (other bits scared me)
I found a website happy in the end... and a facebook addon thing that updated me everyday with a fact (some useful and others just nice)
Which i will use again.... only used the book i had as a nice read around 8 weeks... then rarely touched.
did just look in to give me a rough idea of dates..... but not a clue... can be anything from 31st July to 7th June (think i am getting a early scan)
So i wouldn't say the book i had would be the best one.... but if having twins it is a nice read i suppose as covers that quite a bit xox
She's also given me Tess Daly's Baby Diaries book as she got it as a baby shower present and said it was good and she also lent me the bloke's guide to pregnancy which will be great for hubby as he hasn't a clue (he also doesn't read unless we're on holiday LOL)
Also Tess Daly's baby diaries and Jules Oliver's Minus 9 to 1 are good reads for something more anecdotal
r far easier. Do not let ANYONE tell you c section is easier..it isn't. Obviously, if you need c s section at last minute then oviously no there is no other option, natural delivery is so much easier to recover from..lots of luck hun xx
I second the Baby Whisperer as a fab choice to read just before baby arrives and for when he/she is here. I don't know what I would have done without that book the first few weeks when I didn't have a clue what I was doing!! It really helped me to establish a good routine immediately, whilst still letting baby set the pace

I very much enjoyed Kaz Cooke's Rough Guide to Pregnancy - Just a lot more light-hearted and fun to read.
Would have loved the Pregnancy week-by-week book... I wonder if my hubby will let me buy it for this pregnancy....
I read a very good book for anyone interested in active labour: Birth skills by Juju Sundin. She gives some great ideas for staying in control when giving birth and explains the birthing process (why it hurts etc).

And they're some really good bundles for pregnancy, post-partum and raising children, but I haven't found any discount codes for them. If you find some, please do tell me.
