What are your favorite, non-cliche books to read during pregnancy (books for partners included)?

Post by Olivia Bird Whitworth »

I love seeing what others like to read that are in the same situation as me. That said, I'm currently pregnant and just picked up my favorite book from my last pregnancy, Mindful Birthing by Nancy Bardacke. I forgot how good it was! I'm not as big a fan of What to Expect When You're Expecting, probably just because it is the book that everyone already knows, and all of the information is available online and in the app that updates me every week now anyway.

So what are your favorite pregnancy books? Or books to read while you wait? Bonus points if they are unique, or something your partner actually enjoyed reading.

As partner, I read The First Time Father, by Thomas Alfie. I really enjoyed it (even having some details I didn't like that much, as couple of old dated facts or expressions that could be reviewed).
