I have been specifically reading two good books which I want to recommend to all pregnant women:
Mayo Clinic: Guide to Healthy Pregnancy and
What to Expect When You're Expecting
The Mayo Clinic book is my most favorite. However, I was not able to read all of it because I only borrowed the book from the wife of my husband's brother. Her sister is pregnant and needed the book, so I had to return it.
Currently, I am hooked to the second book which is also full of detailed information. Topics included in this book are:
- preconception preparation for moms
- what you may wonder about pregnancy (signs, diagnosis, etc.)
- choosing your practitioner
- pregnancy profile (gynecological, obstetrical, medical histories)
- stages of pregnancy (1st to 3rd trimester -- physical symptoms and the growth of the baby, prenatal visits & check-ups)
- pregnancy lifestyle
- labor and delivery
- expecting multiple babies
- postpartum issues
- tips and info for dads
- how to cope up with sickness while pregnant and chronic conditions
- pregnancy complications including childbirth and postpartum complications
- coping up with pregnancy loss
