I've been told to read "what to expect when you're expecting" but apparently some people say all it does is freak them out, and also told to read a book by dr. sears. Anyone else have must-read books?

I'd also like to get a book for my SO to read since I know nothing about pregnancy but he knows even less lol.. I'd like to make him feel included but mostly it's just because every time I tell him about a symptom he thinks it's all in my head because I know I'm pregnant now. Yesterday I punched him in the arm because he laughed at me for straining to get into the truck like I had a huge belly at 6 weeks. It wasn't anything to do with my belly, I was having leg cramps!!

I like A Child is Born by Lennart Nilson. The pictures of women giving birth kinda freaked him out, but I guess that's something he would've needed to see! It has some good pictures of fetal development.

I also like Your Amazing Newborn. Not really about birth, but knowing more about newborns did help me decide what kind of birth was for me.
