First time pregnant and i love reading, so i want to spend these months learning properly instead of just googling everything. Looking for good pregnancy books, the calming useful kind. Suggestions?
Haan, reading good books is so important to keep your mind positive na! You can read Garbh Sanskar books, they have beautiful stories and positive thoughts. Also read light storybooks or whatever makes you happy and relaxed.
I always recommend 'Ina May's Guide to Childbirth' for positive birthing stories, it really builds confidence. For daily tracking, 'What to Expect' is great. Keep your reading positive and avoid reading scary delivery stories online!
Actually, I read a lot of light fiction and comedy books because pregnancy hormones are crazy yaar! I also read 'The Pregnancy Handbook' by Nutan Pandit, it's very practical for Indian moms. Just read whatever keeps your mood upbeat and happy.
I am planning my pregnancy and would love to know this too! I've heard 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' is like the ultimate bible. Are there any good Indian books that focus on our diet and traditions?
Reading books like 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' can give you good basic information. However, if you read something about symptoms that worries you, never google it. Always call your doctor to get the right medical facts.
I read 'What to Expect' which was very helpful for tracking weekly development. But along with reading, make sure you don't miss your thyroid and routine blood checkups. Staying on top of your health is just as important as reading!
