Book Recommendations
Belly Laughs - Jenny McCarthy
Dads Pregnant Too - Harlan Cohen "I bought it for my husband and I end up reading it more than my books, WTEWYE and Your Pregnancy Week by Week. It has a lot of humor, gives much insight into what we're going through physically and emotionally, talks about what's going on with baby's development, contains sound words of advice, and experiences from real parents. It also gives moms an idea of what dads are going through too. Its written from a dad's perspective for dad's but is also mom friendly. Its not technical or scary, though touches on more serious subjects, like loss, but a pre-face says 'skip over this section if it doesn't apply to you.' We both find it quiet enjoyable." ~LeeLee930

Pregnancy Daily Dozen Resources- WTEWYE
"In the book What to Expect While You're Expecting, the author outlines a pregnancy diet called the "pregnancy daily dozen." I made myself a chart to keep track of what I am eating according to the diet and a reference sheet with a summary of the foods. I thought other people might want to use them as well. I would recommend that people read the section in WTEWYE to understand the whole diet plan." ~jcsumm0
