My wife just had her first pregnancy doctor’s appointment and I am feeling under prepared. I am looking for worthwhile and hopefully empirically based books about pregnancy and parenting. I normally have no problems doing my own research and scourging the library to find out what I need but there’s so much it’s overwhelming.

So what books have you all read that are worthwhile? What is worth looking at?

    I love to read many different valuable books so I can get some diverse ideas to come up with. If you can get some suggestions from your librarian wife that’s what I’m looking for

        Thank you. Reading things helps me feel calmer and like I am preparing.

          Hey, I haven’t forgotten. She had a super busy day yesterday but she said she’d try to think of a few today.

            No rush. One of the best things about Lemmy is how slow it is. We can have worthwhile threads and discussions for weeks
