Well the first bit was fun and easy…. now that I AM pregnant what do I do??
If you read the books you have to eat right, start exercising, find a doctor etc etc etc. Nah! all too hard I think I will just let my body do what it was built to do!
I can say though that these resources listed below were invaluable to me:
Up the Duff by Kaz Cooke - excellent for down to earth practical advice no medical lingo and easy to read….
The Pregnancy Bible by Joanne Stone and Keith Eddleman - medical information text book style but fantastic for medical information on what is happening to you and the development of baby.
Baby Love by Robin Barker - fantastic guide for when baby is born. This book differs from the nipple, sleep and routine nazi books out there and gives you a guide then makes you feel OK for doing it your way (the philosophy was mother knows best, follow your instincts and it will be OK)
birth.com.au - weekly emails on how you are progressing in the pregnancy.
Last but not least, My Husband - a great support for cooking & cleaning when I had terrible all day sickness and now helping with the 3 am feeds etc 
My advice is that when you are looking for books, if you don’t agree with the tone and the philosophy of the book then Don’t Buy It even if it was recommended by aunt Bessie. It may not be suitable for you and your individual beliefs…
