Recommended Pregnancy & Birth Book

I believe most 1st time mother has their own pregnancy or parenting guidance book. At the moment I was confirmed conceived my baby, I already have lots and lots of question in mind..such as what to do next? When should I see a Gynae? What happen in the few weeks? What should I eat and what not? and etc......

So, to reduce my worries and for me to have a healthy pregnancy, a few days after I confirmed pregnant (by then already 4 weeks pregnant), my husband bought this book as a present for us (me & baby)..eheh...

Luv notes from Mr. Husband...~Thanks Dear~

I remember spending every night reading it. I love the facts that it have month by month progress pages which show what you baby looks like and what is happening to you both inside and out. Feeling very excited to see the baby progress and made me loose my patience sometime to meet our baby. Also it has all guidelines what you need to pack to the hospital and also brief about the type of labour method and also pain relief. Not just that, a lot more which I cant mentioned here, such as food guidelines, exercise according to each stage, preparation for labor and the most helpful part is it also include guidelines for DADDY to be....so its also a way you can spend your quality time with your husband..!! Not to forget it has really NICE LAYOUT and ILLUSTRATION.

After I deliver my daughter, I'm referring to this book which I got as present from my colleague, Noraini..(thanks a lot Aini for sharing). She found that this book is really useful and want to share with us the beneficial of this book.
