I've not read any of those pregnancy books - I wonder if it is because I was pregnant in 2003/2004 or because I was buying my books in Canada. It's a nice pic.
I couldn't find those when I was pregnant. (My town's library is sooo small.) But I did read the Bradley method, and a really good one about midwifery (the name of it escapes me now.) Enjoy your reading!
i didn't know peggy o'mara had a pregnancy book. cool! might i also suggest Ina May's Guide to Childbirth if you haven't read it yet? it's got some amazing, empowering birth stories in the first half of the book. i LOVED it!
Dr. William Sears was my sister's doctor until she was 6 [he moved] and my family and his use to go to church together. I never heard of him until I was pregnant though. Go Figure!
Oh I actually have read all those except the Veg one! I was going to recommend Ina May's book, but I see Amy already did. I have some others, let me know if you want more (related to home-birthing).
HOW EXCITING!! I'm so thrilled to hear your good news! :) I'm expecting too...so now I have another pregnant mama to keep in touch with - love it, and congrats again!
Congrats again, thanks for stopping by my blog as well.
I have heard (haven't read myself) that the girlfriend's guide to pregnancy is a pretty cute/funny book. :) Ya know, might help take your mind of the not so pleasant part you are going through now.
Too bad you can't knit and read at the same time. I am so excited about the home birth...can't wait! I need to start planning activities to keep the boys entertained while waiting to hear the little cry!
gread reads! you will definitely have to read Ina May Gaskin's books too :) i love, love, LOVE homebirth... so much so that tomorrow is my birthday and we will be spending it at a Support Midwifery march at our capital building!
I saw this and then had to go find your announcement lol. I've skimmed through Having a Baby, Naturally and would love to own it if number seven ever comes along. I haven't read the others. :)

I never read any of those books after my 1st pregnancy. WIth the second I'd read a certain part if I needed some info. By the 3rd, I had no time to read. Good Luck! Maybe your kids are quieter and more cooperative than mine. LOL!
I guess there's LOTS more babywearing in your very near future!
That's a good glimpse of the type of books on my nightstand! I love it! My husband joked with me the other night... "this is our 4th baby... what is it you don't know about yet?!" Ahh... men!! Enjoy your reads... I haven't had a baby naturally - and this little man is a c-section, so you go girl! - Audrey
I've read a lot of pregnancy books, but none of those. Have fun reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat book selection. Happy reading.

I love the Sears' library. Good choice!

ReplyDeleteYeah!!!! Love those books.
ReplyDeleteI love the top 3! My faves! And Ina May's birth book is pretty good too!
ReplyDeleteWhere is "Baby Wise"???? (TOTALLY KIDDING!!!)
ReplyDeleteLori
I had to enlarge the picture because I couldn't figure out what the top one was. Excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteWhen you're pregnant with your 4th AND you find time to read, let me know how you do it!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have a lot of reading to do.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny that we still read these books even after we've had a few kids? lol
ReplyDeleteNell
Hey, I recognize a couple of those! : ) Hopefully you'll have time to read them!
ReplyDeleteHappi
Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteStop by Livin' With Me to check out the Blogaholics Anonymous blogroll I have started.
Oh, I love The Pregnancy Book. I recommend it to all my friends. Not overly "crunchy" but still very reassuring and informational.
ReplyDeleteI really love that your Bible is on the top. Congratulations and best wishes!
ReplyDeleteHOW EXCITING!! I'm so thrilled to hear your good news! :) I'm expecting too...so now I have another pregnant mama to keep in touch with - love it, and congrats again!

:) Have a great Wednesday!
Looks like some good reading!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm sure you'll be bombarded with comments during your pregnancy like I was. Everyone wanted to know if we were "going for that girl" :)
ReplyDeleteGreat books and Happy WW

Congrats! Great list. Enjoy! Happy WW
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say CONGRATS!!!!
ReplyDeleteToo bad you can't knit and read at the same time. I am so excited about the home birth...can't wait! I need to start planning activities to keep the boys entertained while waiting to hear the little cry!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I guess those kinds of books will be dominating your reading list for the next 8 months! How exciting!

I love "The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy." Hysterical and fun to read.
ReplyDeletehow fun! you're a pro though, you could be righting a book for the rest of us :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, I'm already losing my first language- writing not righting.
ReplyDeleteOooh, and I'll give you my "Complete Organic Pregnancy" book too! Because, I think you need just one more!
ReplyDeleteExciting reading for sure! Probably the best read list that I have seen in a while.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time for your family. Hope that you are feeling better.
gread reads! you will definitely have to read Ina May Gaskin's books too :) i love, love, LOVE homebirth... so much so that tomorrow is my birthday and we will be spending it at a Support Midwifery march at our capital building!

Good selection... the only one that scares me is the "Having a baby, naturally". I'm a wimp!

ReplyDeleteCongrats Stephanie! What wonderful news!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I had "Your Vegetarian Pregnancy."
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It was hard for me not to blog about pregnancy and babyhood. Let's face it, we write what we know.
So cute. Yeah!
