    I would HIGHLY recommend "Your Baby and Child", by Penelope Leach.
    I received this book as a gift when I was expecting my firstborn 18 years ago, and ran out and bought a revised and updated copy when I became pregnant with my second early this year.
    It's a fabulous resource on parenting.

    I loved the "yummy mummy's survival guide"

    It very funny as she talks exactly of her own experiences of pregnancy, birth and up to a year after even all the embarassing little problems that go with the same.

    I got the following -

    The Rough Guide to Pregnancy and Birth - Kaz Cooke
    It was recommended to be my a few people and is funny and informative.

    What to Expect When You're Expecting -

    This was recommended to me as the one book not to read from cover to cover as it can lead you in to a blind panic !but useable as a reference.
    I haven't got around to looking at it yet.

    The Bloke's Guide To Pregnancy -

    I thought he deserved a book too;)
    Also recommended to me as a good read and well worth buying.
