Pregnancy and Infants
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009I really will be more brief on this one…promise.
Pregnancy
My Pregnancy Week by Week was recommended to be when I was pregnant with Max. It tells you how your baby is growing and what is changing in your body each week. There are other books with similar titles but this one is by Glade B. Curtis.
I think this is the website I used once until cravings and nausea got the best of me. It gives tips on healthy eating and exercise while pregnant. Like I said, if you are feeling up for keeping your weight gain where it should be and exercising then this is a great place to start.
Infants
Your Babies First Year Week by Week is also written by Glade B. Curtis and tells you weekly how your baby should be developing and gives you games you can play with them. I really enjoy the way these books are set up because you can just read one week at a time and don’t have to search the index to find what you are worried about…in most cases if you just look at the applicable week you will find what you are looking for.
Secrets of a Baby Whisperer has been recommended to me but I have to say I haven’t read it. My cousins swear by it and one of them even refers to it as her “Baby Bible”.
Mayo Clinic Complete Book of Pregnancy & Baby’s First Year My MIL works for State Farm Insurance and they just mail these books out to people when they have babies. I’m not sure if every agent does it or just ours. I liked this book but I loaned it to a friend after her son was born and she LOVED it!
