Need reading material suggestions...

[BabyFireFly]

Ok, so far I have been given all the "normal" pregnancy books to read (What to Expect When..., Belly Laughs, etc.) which have all been informative to a certain extent, but my favorite has been "Spiritual Midwifery" by Ina May Gaskin. I was looking for suggestions on books more along those lines - natural birth, birth stories, etc. I believe that Ina May's words are a tremendous confidence builder - especially for new mom's to be like I am. I have two more months before the big day and want to know what I should have on my summer reading list.

Thanks in advance everyone!

For a fun read, "Waiting for Birdy" has potential. It's about her having her second kid, but has some lovely and oh-so-true looks at how it was with a newborn.

Not really birthing relevant though.

http://www.midwiferytoday.com/articles/pushing.asp is a great birthing-related confidence-building read.

Good luck and congratulations!
