Just entered second trimester and i have so much free time now. Want to read something proper instead of scrolling phone all day. Any good books u all read during ur pregnancy? Indian ones bhi suggest karo if any.
I was very scared to read anything after my previous loss, but 'Brain Rules for Baby' really comforted me without triggering my fears. I suggest reading books that focus on post-delivery baby development rather than scary pregnancy complications. Take it one day at a time, dear.
I read 'The Pregnancy Countdown Book' which was super fun and daily tracker style. But alongside reading, please remember to keep up with your thyroid tests and doctor visits if you have health issues like me. No book can replace what your gynac advises for your specific health.
I used to read 'Ina May's Guide to Childbirth' which helped me stay so calm. Now that my little one is a toddler, I realize that reading positive birth stories really keeps the anxiety away. Just read anything that makes u happy, dont read scary stuff online!
Beta, read holy books like Bhagavad Gita or Ramayana, it gives very good vibes to the baby. Also you can read some simple baby care books. Keep your mind peaceful, drink warm milk with a little badam at night, and read happy stories.
I read 'What to Expect When You're Expecting' which is great, but honestly, be very careful with the diet books. Since I had gestational diabetes, I realized many books talk about eating whatever you crave, but you have to monitor sugar. Better to stick to standard books and consult your doc about food.
