by Vicky Iovine, My Best friend's Guide to Pregnancy

This book was loaned to me from a friend, and I devoured it's down to earth advice and experiences (whilst reading out all the funny bits to DH)! I hadn't discovered MN at this time, but it gives very much the same frank assessments of pregnancy and birth to the novice mum. Much better than a didactic text book.

Haven't seen the Mumsnet Guide yet, but I'm willing to change my review when I do!
