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?

+1 for Cribsheet. She's a statistician, it's not so much "this is how to do it" as "here's a few things people try and data about how effective they are." It's a great way to give useful information and encourage parents to make their own decisions about how to raise their child. When my wife was pregnant we read it together and it started a lot of good conversations.
