My wife just had her first pregnancy doctor’s appointment and I am feeling under prepared. I am looking for worthwhile and hopefully empirically based books about pregnancy and parenting. I normally have no problems doing my own research and scourging the library to find out what I need but there’s so much it’s overwhelming.
So what books have you all read that are worthwhile? What is worth looking at?
Heading Home With Your Newborn was probably the only useful one I read.
One interesting thing I noticed was that What to Expect and Mayo Clinic’s Guide and whatever else I read were really verbose whereas whatever book my husband had (targeted towards fathers) were more straightforward and to-the-point.

I considered reading the Mayo Clinics Guide but I will table it. Heading Home With Your Newborn is on my list now
