I mostly used the internet for information especially forums like this and weddingbee. The only books I bought during pregnancy were about bradley birth photomommy on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-238389 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:21:19 +0000 photomommy 238389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One of my sweet friends mailed me the Mayo Clinic book. I love it! I have heard that What to Expect makes you too nervous so have stayed away. ladyfingers on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-238384 Fri, 27 Jul 2012 14:17:43 +0000 ladyfingers 238384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bought it on the Kindle but I didn't care for the tone or the depth of info. I love the Mayo Clinic book but looks like you already got that one! YaY!

I bought the Mayo Clinic book and I LOVE it!!! mrsjyw on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202933 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 09:01:01 +0000 mrsjyw 202933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I use the app on my phone, but didn't buy the book. I do most of my research/reading via real life blogs, HB, and online baby resources :) Chastenet on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202854 Wed, 27 Jun 2012 07:59:49 +0000 Chastenet 202854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have the app on my phone with the daily updates...But I just borrowed books from a friend who had already had a baby ( You being Pregnant and Pregnency week by week). Although I didn't read them all the way through. The only pregnancy book I've read cover to cover is Ina May's guide to natural childbirth.

I'll definitely look for the Mayo Clinic book and the Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn book and skip What To Expect! mooncici on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202744 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:32:18 +0000 mooncici 202744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got it as a gift as well...it's alright...I ended up looking online most of the times because it's much easier with an iPhone :) jedeve on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202733 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 22:02:14 +0000 jedeve 202733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have the app, which is fine (nothing super informative but nice.) I have Mayo Clinic and Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Newborn. Truth is I just look most stuff up online.... PurpleUnicorn on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202730 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 21:57:38 +0000 PurpleUnicorn 202730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ i bought it as soon as i had a positive test. i don't hate it as much as everyone here seems to, but i do find it boring to read. it was more entertaining in the first couple of weeks i got pregnant because i seriously knew nothing and so it was all new info for me. now i find between my weekly emails, daily app tips, and googling online, i am reading the same info everywhere. My friend lent me the Dr. Oz book: You: Being pregnant (or something like that) and i just started it but so far i like it more than WTE as it is written in a more captivating style. autumnlove on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202678 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:17:20 +0000 autumnlove 202678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I bought Expecting 411 and What to Expect but I never read What to Expect...it was too dated and boring! cvbee on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202665 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 20:04:15 +0000 cvbee 202665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was told not to read this book, so I avoided it, even though a couple of people tried to pass it to me. Arden on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202650 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 19:32:36 +0000 Arden 202650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got the Dr. Sears Pregnancy book. Mrs. Yoyo on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202591 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:35:18 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 202591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hahaha so glad everyone hates that book as much as I do. Alarmist and obnoxious. I also recommend the Mayo guide! SleepyMonkey on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202555 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 18:05:17 +0000 SleepyMonkey 202555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ another vote for Mayo Clinic's Guide to Health Pregnancy. my doctor recommended it and rolled her eyes when talking about What to Expect, and said a lot of stuff in there is unnecessarily inflammatory. Periwinkle on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202497 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:06:18 +0000 Periwinkle 202497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I do have it (I was told it was the pregnancy Bible!) and quite honestly don't even pick it up that often. I much prefer the Week-by-Week Guide: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Your-Pregnancy-Week-Edition-Series/dp/0738214647/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340748354&sr=8-1&keywords=week+by+week+pregnancy" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Your-Pregnancy-Week-Edition-Series/dp/0738214647/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1340748354&sr=8-1&keywords=week+by+week+pregnancy</a>.

I got Natural Hospital Birth and Ina May's Guide to Childbirth instead. cyneswith on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202493 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 17:00:24 +0000 cyneswith 202493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yeah, I've found it to be really redundant. There's much less information in there than what there is on things like babycenter, and their website is more informative than the book. mrsmenow on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202479 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:42:30 +0000 mrsmenow 202479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I had it in my first two pregnancy's and I likes. I liked a Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, much less information , but more intertaining. I had donated my books when we thought we were done. This time I am getting most of my information online or the binder my doctor's office gave me. loveisstrange on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202472 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:39:35 +0000 loveisstrange 202472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope. I found it kind of condescending and annoying. I second Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn. That was a good one. I also read The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and Pregnancy Week by Week. lilteacherbee on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202467 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:34:49 +0000 lilteacherbee 202467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope, I got the Mayo Clinic one too and I like it so far. duckduckkristen on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202443 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 16:13:50 +0000 duckduckkristen 202443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't like it because I thought it was overly cautious about a lot of things. I bought the Mayo Clinic book and liked it, but as pp said, you can find all the info on sites like babycenter. littlebug on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202382 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:31:33 +0000 littlebug 202382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I started reading it before I got pregnant, but am finding that most of the info in the book can be found online from my babycenter updates or here on the hive! I also bought the book that @Mrs. Jacks recommended, which seems a bit more comprehensive. Adira on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202369 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:23:18 +0000 Adira 202369@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thanks ladies! I'll have to stop by the bookstore and see if they have the Mayo Clinic one. bushelandapeck on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202360 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:18:39 +0000 bushelandapeck 202360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have the Mayo Clinic guide and have found it to be pretty useful. I was scared away from the What to Expect after hearing lots of negative reviews. LuLu Mom on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202354 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:17:36 +0000 LuLu Mom 202354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got it as a gift, and I did not care for it. I prefer the week by week book I recieved and also just look stuff up online. I have noticed a lot of stuff contridict each other so I was getting annoyed. Mrs. Jacks on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202352 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:17:12 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 202352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ That book sucked! I love this book: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pregnancy-Childbirth-Newborn-Complete-medically/dp/074321241X" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Pregnancy-Childbirth-Newborn-Complete-medically/dp/074321241X</a> and know one of the authors (took my newborn class from her). There's a new edition and I trust them implicitly. Ann was so right on in everything she taught us in baby class! oliviaoblivia on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202347 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:14:17 +0000 oliviaoblivia 202347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I skimmed it and put it back. I brought home the Mayo Clinic Guide to Pregnancy (something like that.)

I read the TTC one: What to Expect Before your Expecting. And I liked it a lot. I have the What to Expect app on my phone, also. chopsuey on "What To Expect When You're Expecting" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-expect-when-youre-expecting-1#post-202342 Tue, 26 Jun 2012 15:13:10 +0000 chopsuey 202342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't. i skimmed through it at the bookstore, but you can find all the info in the book online. I signed up for babycenter and get weekly updates :)
