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?
My wife and I went to a friend’s wedding in France to a French national in his small town. We were surprised and impressed with the small kids at the wedding. There was nothing child specific for them and they had a great time. Also I’m pretty sure they stayed up later celebrating than us. Good suggestion
