So what pregnancy/parenting books you been reading?

I'm reading the big old DK 365 day guide to pregnancy which is helpful.

Expecting Better by Emily Oster which provided some interesting information but she annoyed me somewhat. It's as if her while life revolves around being an economist and she seemed to find stats to back her own ideas up rather than being completely unbiased. And she comes across as rather full of herself. Worse in Cribnotes.

Hypnobirthing by Holly de Cruz. Found the information very repetitive and mostly useless.

The Positive Birthing Book by Milli Hill. Currently the most useful book of the lot. Tells you a lot about labour, gives other people's experiences, is very personable and lots of good information.

And currently reading The Book You Wish Your parents Had Read (and your children will be glad you did) by Philip a Perry which is quite good so far. More aimed at Parenthood thank pregnancy of course.

As a ftm i think I'll take quite a bit from it though.

How to grow a baby and push it out by Clemmie Hopper - finding it informative without being overwhelming

Hypnobirthing- practical ways to make your birth better by Siobhan Miller- really helping me look at labour in a positive light and is providing DP with plenty of tips on what he can do to help during labour.
