From the moment I found out I was pregnant (the first time) I started consuming knowledge on the topic. I wanted to be as educated as possible on all-things-pregnancy so that I could be an informed patient when it came time to go to the doctor, and so that I could minimize panicked calls to the doc in the meantime by better understanding what was "normal" and what was not. Here is the list of the books I swear by. I tend to be on the conservative "women-had-perfect-babies-long-before-they-knew-the-alleged-perils-of-tuna-and-cat-litter" side and so I've picked up a decent range of books, from the most scientific / conservative, to some more liberal options. I've found that this collection of books has helped me feel informed - and confident in my choices - thus far.
