I'm currently experiencing my 38th week of pregnancy, thus I have dedicated most of my reading of late to the subject. I must say that there are many pregnancy books out there. The amount of information contained in these can be a quite daunting especially for first time moms (like me) and may even be out of date. Having read a fair amount on the subject, however, I am able to offer a suggestion of a current, practical book that answered many of my questions about pregnancy in a simple, visual, and easy to follow manner. Pregnancy Day by Day, developed by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Oregon Health and Science University, is a day by day pregnancy guide that takes the reader on a visual journey of baby from conception to childbirth to two weeks after childbirth. In addition to the Day by Day picture journey and health tips corresponding to each week of pregnancy, Pregnancy Day by Day also offers lifestyle advice for the pre-conceptual period and details surrounding concerns and complications that often arise during and after pregnancy. I've checked this book out several times at various stages of my pregnancy for the visual representation of approximately what my baby would look like during my first, second, and third trimester as well as what I should expect generally from week to week. Though moms may need more detailed information on specific concerns related to their individual pregnancies, Pregnancy Day by Day is a great place to begin the pregnancy information quest.
