Best Pregnancy Books | What to read during pregnancy

I loved this book so much! It’s written by a midwife who has given birth to 4 kids. How cool is that? 

Think of it as your weekly pregnancy guide as it’s structured on all the stages of pregnancy.

If you are in doubt about something pregnancy-related, this book will clear your mind and help you take a decision.

If you’re not familiar with Osho, there’s something that you should know about him.

He is a very popular speaker, and all his books were transcribed and written by his disciples. Therefore this is a book that will show you different aspects of parenting and childhood.

It’s a good book that puts your mind into action and makes you take a step back and think about all the things related to children and parenting. Check it out here.

This is the best-selling pregnancy book, you can find it in every corner. I never read it, but because it’s so popular, I can tell that’s a good book.

By the time I came across this book, I’d already purchased a different book (the next one), which was very similar to this one. Check it out here.

This is exactly what its title says – a day-by-day pregnancy book. It’s a MASSIVE pregnancy encyclopedia. There’s a lot of information in it, and detailed explanations about what’s happening every single day in your body.

You’ll also read about your baby and what’s going on with him inside your tummy.

I used it to read more about my pregnancy. Highly recommend it. Check it out here.

Another book was written by a midwife. It’s the perfect book to read if you plan on having a natural birth.

By reading this book you will learn what actually happens during labor, how to create a safe and comfortable birthing place no matter where you are, the risks of anesthesia, caesareans that doctors won’t tell you, and lots more.

In the beginning, you are going to find a selection of birth stories. Check it out here.

This is a beneficial book for first-time mommies, and it’s just like the author describes her book: “Surviving and enjoying your baby’s first year.”

OMG! This sentence is not far from the truth. It covers everything you need to know from what to buy for your baby to going back to work.

This is one of those books that’s been on my “To Read” list since I bought it and I loved it.

It’s a book that writes about the “parenting secrets of the happiest people in the world” – the Danish. Check it out here.

If I were to describe this book in one single sentence this is what it’ll be – a guide that teaches parents how to raise adults that can succeed later on in life without their support.

This is a great resource for parents that wish to raise happy and resilient children. Check it out here.

As a first-time mum, you’re constantly wondering what’s going on with your baby. It’s the best resource for you if you want to learn more about a baby’s growth spurts, mood swings, and lots more.

I just love reading about babies’ development every day that passes. There’s also an app in the same way, but I am not sure if these are related. 

Montessori is one of the things I never knew existed until my baby was about 4 months. And since I knew its meaning I was hooked.

I am a huge advocate for Montessori education and everything that comes with it. We are trying to implement as many Montessori techniques as possible, but we are not solely Montessori.

Interesting title. Another must-read in my opinion. I am always wondering what babies think and what they have in their tiny little brains.

Check it out here.

It’s one of those books I wish I’d read when my son was born. This is segmented month by month where you are going to find age-appropriate activities in order to develop certain skills that they are supposed to know at a specific age.

Extremely useful, especially for new moms who don’t know how to play with their children. Check it out here.

This is another best-selling book. I have some mom friends who have read it and they are so pumped about it. I personally haven’t read it yet.

The author is a neuroscientist that uses his knowledge to make us, parents, understand how a baby’s brain works. See here.

This is the no1 book that you must read when it comes to sleep teaching your baby.

I implemented some of the strategies mentioned here and I’ve seen amazing results.

Just as its title says – all you need to know about your baby from 0-2 years old.

It’s the perfect resource to have on hand and reach out to it whenever you have a question regarding your little one.

This book focuses on the essential needs of babies eating, sleeping, development, health, and comfort. See here.

It teaches mothers-to-be seven natural laws for successful breastfeeding.

It also offers guidance for proper attachment of your baby to your breast, how to breastfeed without pain, understanding breastfeeding patterns, milk production, weaning, and lots more. See here.

This book covers everything you need to know about breastfeeding. Thinking about breastfeeding, how milk production works, and how to breastfeed are just a few of the topics covered in it. Take a look here

Another breastfeeding book that covers everything you need to know to get started. See here.

This is your perfect weaning guide divided by the weaning stages. It covers everything you need to know on the subject. Just as you would expect from a weaning book, it comes with recipes too. Take a look here.

If you are thinking about starting baby-led weaning with your baby, this book is definitely for you!

Before I purchased this book, I wasn’t sure if BLW is for us, I was so afraid, but after reading this book, I gain confidence and transitioned to BLW.

I highly recommend this book.

This is very similar to the previous one, but I noticed that the latter, besides the fact that it has recipes, is kind of a summary of the other one.

Even so, I’d still buy them both as the first one goes a little bit into the history of BLW as well. See here.

If you are searching for a cookbook for your little one, this is definitely a good one!

It’s full of recipes and ideas. Whenever I feel stuck and don’t know what to cook, I always turn to this book for inspiration. See here.
