From the Hips
A lot of the old-guard pregnancy books will a) scare the wits out of you and b) make you feel that you have time-traveled to a bygone era of calico-print skirts and make-it-at-home yogurt. From the Hips is a modern mom's guide to pregnancy that skillfully balances expert know-how from doctors, midwives, lactation consultants, and doulas with wise and funny tales from the mom front. Controversial issues like elective C-sections, cosleeping, and extended breastfeeding are explored in a rational, refreshing way, and hundreds of anonymous-mom quotes throughout the book make you feel like legions of girlfriends are guiding you through the fabulous but sometimes treacherous path of pregnancy and parenting.
