I have a lot of free time these days and want to read up properly instead of just googling everything at 2am. Looking for something that actually helps a first time mom understand whats happening. Any good ones you'd recommend?
I liked the week by week pregnancy guides, they explained what was happening month to month. But honestly I took the medical bits with my doctor rather than following books blindly. Pick one that feels calm and not fear inducing.
Honestly I used apps more than books, the weekly updates were perfect. But a good week by week book is lovely for bedtime reading too. Just avoid the ones that scare you with worst cases, choose positive and practical ones.
Along with a pregnancy guide I read some calm and positive books, even a little spiritual reading kept my mind peaceful. A relaxed mind really helps. Read whatever brings you comfort and joy.
