So what books did you read when you were expecting, besides the old standard What to Expect When You’re Expecting

There was was one book that was given to me by my doctors office. I forget the name, but it was great along with the What to Expect series.

You can also register on babycenter.com. They send you weekly updates via email and they are awesome. I still get updates from them so many years after pertaining to my kids at whatever age they are in.

I spent lots of time at babycenter dot com (sorry I dont know if this is a no-no to post lol) but they have photos of what baby looks like in-utero at each week with explanation of whats developing and going on. Very informative and amusing!

I like the Baby center book a lot more than the What to Expect book. Books by Dr Sears are really good. I also spend a lot of time on the forums at ovusoft.com.

naik pareveeno... quran paro aur naatein suno... allah allah karo :D hehe

man i havent done jack like that and i feel soooo bad..

what am i reading? anything to do with babies... anywhere i can find it. the one we got from the hospital has pretty much answered all my questions from child production to delivery to raising the kid until its 7! its an amazing book but a danish production only handed out by hospitals... so not available for sale.

Me too! but I only did it with my first one and then in my 2nd pregnancy I didn't have time to read anything.

I read these books so far they very good
1-What to expect when you are expecting
2-A pregnancy week by week

Both are good books and there is lot of material online available which is good.I subscribed from babycenter.com and there were many sites even Enfamil or pampers site give lot of information.

I read a lot of Danielle Steel books! Lol.

I read the entire Quran before labour day and would read Surah Maryam every single day as the story is so touching and elders encouraged me to read it daily as well as other prayers.
