It's a great, quick read. I read it in just a couple of hours but it's a nice way to put some humor into what you're experiencing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-6382 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:09:51 +0000 Weagle 6382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've only read part of two books, but I've enjoyed them both. "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" by Vicki Iovine for fun information, and "The Baby Book" by Dr. Sears for more serious information. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-6367 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 15:08:21 +0000 mamabolt 6367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've got "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" and "The Panic-free Pregnancy" in terms of pregnancy books. I was told to avoid "What to Expect" because it will make you crazy. I don't really love either of the books I bought, I feel like I could find all the info in the on the internet if I needed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-6361 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 14:36:34 +0000 jennylynn 6361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked "belly laughs" by jenny McCarthy also. I have What to Expect, but I really don't find it that useful honestly. My mom actually found a copy of Mayoclinics "Guide to Pregnancy and Baby's First Year" for me at a garage sale, and so far I've found it to be the most useful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-6265 Wed, 26 Oct 2011 10:25:32 +0000 samantharose 6265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Let's Panic about Babies" - I cannot recommend this enough if you need a good laugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-3059 Sat, 08 Oct 2011 21:34:33 +0000 Coastinganon 3059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I highly recommend Ina May's Guide to Childbirth </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-2242 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:45:44 +0000 MaisyMay 2242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" and "Dad's Pregnant Too." Both were cheap and had a fun sense of humor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-1938 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:45:15 +0000 lavender 1938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have "what to expect" and was gifted a copy of Jenny McCarthy's "Belly Laughs". It was a riot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-books-did-you-read-while-pregnant#post-1781 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:45:24 +0000 chopsuey 1781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read "Skinny Bitch Bun in the Oven." bLah.

She said it was full of stuff that may not happen to you, but will scare you. So, what books about pregnancy did you find helpful? </p>
