I got my BFP on Tues and am still up in the clouds! I know its early days but I'd like to buy a pregnancy book that can tell me all I need to know. Can anyone suggest anything good?
Thanks all.

I have 4 pregnancy books that I read on a regular basis. Of Course, "what to expect when you're expecting", but then I bought a weekly book. Not sure of the exact title because I am at work right now, but it's something like "your pregnancy weekly". I really like this book and is the one I refer to most often. It has color pictures in it of the fetus. Then I went to the secondhand store and purchased a book on pregnancy written in the 90's (very graphic pictures of birth, but very thorough) and then another weekly one written on the 90's. I keep all 4 near my bedside and read some nightly.
I also commute on the train, and I keep the "official lamaze guide" in my bag to read while on the train (when I can keep my eyes open). But this is something you may want to wait until your third trimester for.
Hope this helps and Congrats on your BFP!!
