This is our first babe and while we are using a midwife it will be a hospital birth - luckily our midwife is very supportive of us being in charge of every decision and making informed decisions on what is best for us...so I'm reading The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer (it's been very informative so far on the pros and cons of different procedures and hospital things) and the other book I'm reading is Dr. Sears "The Pregnancy Book."
What'cha reading?
I was at the library today and found this book, After the Baby's Birth...A Woman's Way to Wellness that looks pretty good.
I was thinking it might be nice to share whatever books we're reading/have read.
During my other pregnancies, I enjoyed, Husband Coached Childbirth The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding Spiritual Midwifery Immaculate Deception (didn't exactly "enjoy" that one, but it was good) Birthing From Within and Birth Choices.
So, does anyone else have any recommendations?

I own After the Baby's Birth... and I found it helpful after dd's birth.
I also like Henci Goer's book and I loved The Pregnancy Book during my last pregnancy. The Baby Book also by Sears and Sears has been my baby bible since dd's birth.
Last pregnancy I read Having Faith by Sandra Steingraber and loved it.
Does anyone have suggestions for reading during a second pregnancy? I can't think of anything new I want to read.

I am currently reading Ina May's Guide to Childbirth and I am really enjoying it. Looking forward to reading some of these other titles. Thanks, ladies!
I'm reading Hilary Flower's Adventures in Tandem Nursing. Wonderful read and I feel like I need to give it to my ds 14 month's doctor who is concerned with me being pregnant and still bfing.
