i am so clueless...

what to expect when you are expecting its a good book.....Stay away from fish and raw shrimp. Dont drink alot of caffeine. Those are the basics.

Quit smoking if you do, don't drink and get plenty of rest!!

Fully cook everything! Vitamin B6 is your friend. Drink milk.

the pregnancy book by martha sears, or the one by shiela kirzinger, or the one by simkin. all much better than what to expect. :) but really , there are so many good ones. congrats!

Seafood, alcohol, high levels of caffiene, and to much fattening food. Up your grains a fruits and cut out empty calories. Your doctor may give a few magazines during your first visit. Ask any question you have during your doc visits. There are no stupid questions when you're pregnant so dont let someone try and tell you there are. Ask about anything you are worried about.

I agree, What to Expect is pretty good, as is Your Pregnancy Week by Week. The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy offers the humorous side of things. I signed up for weekly emails from Babycenter.com that would talk about what I should be expecting each week of my pregnancy and what to expect in coming weeks. There are other websites that you can use as well. Babyzone.com and I think whattoexpect.com - I know What to Expect has a website that sends weekly emails, I'm just not sure exactly what the website name is. I'm sure if you google it, you'll find it.

There's also a great website called .i-am-pregnant.com, sign up for that, you mark your due date and you go through each week with other moms in the same week. It's a wonderful site to get advice, and just let go, and get information. Congrats! And good luck :)

Ina Mays Guide to Childbirth
Hypnobirthing : The Mongan Method
Spiritual Midwifery
My Best Birth (might be YOUR best birth, I cant remember, I read it during visits to the book store, didnt have money to buy it but wish I did!)

All good books, highly recommend them!
