Its natural to be a little shy about your pregnancy especially if it’s your first baby! Interestingly it is your very first pregnancy when you embark on an adventure that you know little about and there is so much you want to learn and need to know. After buying a few not so useful pregnancy books, I finally got my hands on the book I needed since the day I discovered I was pregnant. Its called “What to Expect When You’re Expecting”.

The book has been recommended by doctors, friends and is accepted as a must-read during pregnancy. From the meals you need to eat to how much you should gain, from knowing that you will have a baby to your preparation for delivery, from how your sex life may change to how to cope with the changes – this book has it all including a month by month guide of how your gorgeous body is changing during the 9 months. It is a highly rated book and we strongly recommend it as it covers all pregnancy related aspects in detail. You can buy it at http://astore.amazon.co.uk/the9mon-21/detail/1847373755
Happy reading!
