Isn't there an MN pregnancy guide?

Don't think pregnancy has altered much in 6 years Stick to the classics - I still use Dr Sears' Baby Book, first published some time in the dark ages.

I had the Queen Charlotte's hospital one with ds. No glossy pictures, just useful week-by-week advice.

If you're aiming for a natural birth I'd suggest 'Birth & Breastfeeding' by Michel Odent.

Lesley Regan's Book - Catn remember the title but its brillianjt
