My wife just had her first pregnancy doctor's appointment and I am feeling under prepared. I am looking for worthwhile and hopefully empirically based books about pregnancy and parenting. I normally have no problems doing my own research and scourging the library to find out what I need but there's so much it's overwhelming.

So what books have you all read that are worthwhile? What is worth looking at?

I would highly recommend "Let the baby drive", a super oversimplified summary could be "Nap when new baby naps", but there is so much more in there.

Great suggestions. Its not at my library but I will look into it.

I have heard the "Nap when new baby naps" advice before. We will try to do it

Oh and congratulations! It'll be an adventure, have fun and cherish those moments (even when you're pulling your hair out lol).
