Without using titles, some of these "fabulous" books included information such as: Don't eat parsley, don't listen to music too loud, etc. You can see where I'm going with this.
Given our birth plan, I was more interested in learning about natural approaches to pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting. Along the way I found some really great books! These have helped me develop a positive attitude through this journey and prepare me for an empowered labor (HOPEFULLY!).
Anyway, here they are:
Having a Baby, Naturally: The Mothering Magazine Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth
Let the Baby Drive : Navigating the Road of New Motherhood
Juju Sundin's Birth Skills: Proven Pain-Management Techniques for Your Labour and Birth
Ina May's Guide to Childbirth
Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful: Experience the Natural Power of Pregnancy and Birth with Kundalini Yoga and Meditation
The last book is also the style of prenatal yoga that I have been doing. I'll have to write about that soon. It has been essential these last few weeks in restoring me physically and emotionally.
I still have a whole stack to go through including Hypnobirthing, some Dr. Sears books, Birthing from Within, Bradley Method, and a few others. Phew...
Did you have any favorite pregnancy, birth, or parenting books?
Don't forget to vote for PH&C on Top Baby Blogs :) Thanks!
I'm really glad I found this post. The hubs and I are slated to start TTC in two months and I am already fighting back the urge to buy dozens of books. I'm glad you've done some of the weeding for me!
