Top Pregnancy Books

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:12:59 GMT

Pregnant and a little nervous about what's to come? Got questions in the middle of the night? Imagine the following scenarios: Waking up drenched in sweat and being unable to fall back asleep. What about taking care of that terrible morning sickness? Oh good grief, are those stretch marks?! These seem like major "uh-oh" situations but this is where having an excellent pregnancy book comes in handy.

Bookshelves everywhere are stocked with a vast selection of reads meant to ease your concerns. For mothers-to-be and their partners, they prove an invaluable resource. For best friends of mothers-to-be, they become excellent yet simple gift ideas. Any way you look at it, having a quality pregnancy book on hand at all hours of the day is a great convenience and relief.

Here are some of MyRegistry.com's suggestions:

5. The Natural Pregnancy Book: Herbs, Nutrition, and Other Holistic Choices by Jill Aviva Romm

Herbs and tinctures and recipes...oh my! If you're a natural gal who thrives on eco-friendly products and tries to avoid technological intervention, then this book will satisfy your nutritional and health-related maternal concerns. Moreover, Jill Aviva Romm is an experienced midwife and an herbalist and her wholesome advice is certainly helpful. With botanical remedies for everyday prenatal discomforts to recommended exercises, this book proves a refreshing change for the green mama in you. A unique addition is that Romm's husband authored one of the chapters, which is geared towards your partner. Truly a family-centered read. (If you're interested in finding out more, check out the author's website Integrative Medicine for Women and Children.

4. Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy by Mayo Clinic

An informative book, this pregnancy guide derives from the highly esteemed medical institution, the Mayo Clinic. When it comes to solid medical facts, expertise you can count on, and clear explanations about physiological changes, this book wins. Many women choose this resource because it offers information in a scientific, straightforward manner rather than a sentimental one, and allows fathers to better relate to the pregnancy process. An added perk is that all the chapters feature illustrations along with excellent advice that will prove useful throughout your pregnancy.

3. Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth by Jenny McCarthy

There is nothing wrong with enjoying genuine, spontaneous laughter every now and then. Jenny McCarthy, perhaps best known for her 'Singled Out' antics and boisterous ways, shows readers a completely different side of herself through this pregnancy memoir. She reveals some of the more random aspects of her pregnancy (mustard cravings, a burgeoning tush, and an endless supply of mumus), and readers will be able to connect with a woman who suffers the same symptoms as every other expecting mother. A favorable aspect of this book is that it doesn't resort to negative banter in order to establish a humorous tone. It's funny enough in its realism and McCarthy definitely offers a relatable, light-hearted account. (Need another reason to adore Jenny McCarthy? She dedicates a lot of time rallying for autism research and treatments through her non-profit organization Generation Rescue.)

2. The Girlfriends' Guide To Pregnancy (Or Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You) by Vicki Iovine

Full of ::snap snap:: sass and pizzazz, this book speaks to you the same way your best friend would over a caramel macchiato. Worried about your job? Can't find clothes that fit? Are your breasts so sore that wearing a bra leaves you utterly traumatized? Don't worry. This book, with its remarkable wit and anecdotes, lets you know from the get-go, "Hey girl, we understand. We've been there too." Here's a savory excerpt from page 6: My Girlfriend Mindy developed such an aversion to the smell of dairy products when she was pregnant that she couldn't walk into a grocery store or a delicatessen for fear of smelling the cheese and throwing up in the aisle. One morning she saw me pouring cream into my coffee and started making noises like a cat trying to get up a hairy ball. (If you're in the mood for more entertaining advice check out the author's blog, the Girlfriend's Guide.)

*1. What To Expect When You're Expecting by Heidi Murkoff

The ultimate pregnancy reference guide. The Encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia of the baby world. You question, it answers. Murkoff's book has proven to be an amazingly comprehensive book that will calm your worries and help you properly prepare for your little one. In fact, this book has been so in demand that the website What to Expect, complete with forums discussions and supportive articles, was created to serve as an additional source of information for expectant mothers. Reduce that anxiety and happily welcome your baby! An easy yet thorough read, this is the go-to book for all your trimester jitters.

So, which pregnancy books did you find most helpful during your pregnancy? Which ones did you prefer over others? Feel free to recommend any texts that left you smiling or offered top-notch medical advice!
