anyone know any good books

[mad4girls]

getting bored the book i thought i had ordered is out of stock very interested in any thing to with pregnancy (im 19wks) and hoping to breast feed so anything like that really

anybody any ideas cant find anything on amazon plus feels like theres millions of books on there with no blurb to find out whats inside or is it just me?

Hello mad4girls, i relied on the old favourite "what to expect when you're expecting" - full of useful info for each month, not preachy, very helpful.
A nice wee book was "watch me grow!" by Professor Stuart Campbell, it has loads of 3-D womb pictures so you can see how baby is growing & developing week by week, amazing!
I also liked "secrets of the baby whisperer" by tracy hogg, only got it when ds was already a few weeks old but i liked her style and some of the tips were good. Failed at BF due to illness so can't help there i'm afraid.

watch me grow sounds lovely and dd's 7 and nearly 5 would love to see the pics

need to search that now

A very good non medical book is The Best Friend's guide to Pregnancy by Vicky Iovine - really tells it like it is! I loved it!

Don't bother with a book - just use MN

If you do get a book don't feel obligated to follow everything it says. You may become quite anxious that you are not "doing it properly".

another one for what to expect when you are expecting...a few bits of americanese though

I loved my book when i was preggers, Cant remember the name, but is was done by Queen charlottes and that was in the title i think!

of course ill use MN but you always got to bed when i feel like a chat

or feel tearful like now cant stop blubbing not sure why ?

I love Baby Wisdom by Deborah Jackson - a lovely look at babies in different cultures. Also Eve's Wisdom by the same author, more about pregnancy and birth.

Oh poor you, hormones are such a liability, aren't they?

dont want to go up to bed coz ill start worrying bout things which will wind me up more

dp coming home from work soon just need hug
just feel horrible dont want to feel like this soo out of control im normally a control freak dont want feel at hormaones mercy

Can you read a book to take your mind off things? I have certain comfort books which I read when I am feeling wobbly.

there all sad ones

and dp said he would be home by now
its not fair

I'm sure he'll be back soon. Is this your first baby?

no its my third i must be mad

i have 2dd's 7 and 5 he has 2 ds 8 and 5
our 1st together

What a lovely family! I have 4...aged 10, 8, 5 and 2.

I was so hormonal in my first preg that I was looking through my baby book and saw a b/feeding pic...I said to DH aww isn't that just the loveliest thing you ever saw...he was like huh? yeah if you say so

Me (in hysterics) I caaaaaaan't believe you said that...this is as nature intended it....will you be this callous when I'm b/feeding??!!

DH:

wow did you always want a large family

dp doesnt get to see his sons much me and his wife dont get on too well

he is on his way now so he says

i never felt too tearful with others strange

if i disappear its coz he hogged the laptop off me

Never knew I really wanted kids - didn't really think aboput it - until I was pg with dd1. But they are kind of addictive

My dp has two other children as well - well, they're grown up now really. He doesn't see them much.

thanx for listening ladies and advice and
what the op was for a list of books heading off to book shop tomrrow now have to buy myslef soemthing dont want to feel like that again

reminded me of when i was in a dark depression not a nice place to be even if for only half an hour, i have to remember it does pass quickly though, just at that one moment feels like ive drunk to much and its the end of the world (horrid feeling)

but thanx again ladies really appreciate you taking time to chat

feel much better

Four!!!

its not nice to see my dp upset when his ex changes plans on purpose so he cant see them
were getting used to it jnow but not nice #

nite nite

Take care
