EKCD I have a copy of the NZ Pregnancy book if you would like it. My mum works at a library and gave it to me because the pages are falling out and it is kind of ripped, but it doesn't affect any, you can still read it. If you would like it just PM me your address and i will send it to you.]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2006 21:38:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=29096&title=books#29096 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=29055&title=books#29055 Author: nikkitheknitter

There is a book which my mum had when she was pregnant with me (hrmmm... so 21 years old) and it was awesome because it had real life photos taken with some sort of flash device of fetuses throughout the pregnancy. It was cool to see a 3D image of what your baby would look like at that stage.
Also had images of people giving birth, not for the squeamish but informative.
Not sure what it had to say in the text, I was busy ogling the pics!
Might want to check the library? Then you don't have to fork out. Anyway, I'll find the name of the book when I talk to my mum next.]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2006 19:55:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=29055&title=books#29055 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=29041&title=books#29041 Author: EKCD

Thanks everyone! I really appreciate all your recommendations.

I bought 'Up The Duff' and 'The Users Guide to the New Zealand Pregnancy'. They make a great pair.

Cheers everyone!

one reason I like little treasures was it has topics that aren't metioned in other palces. this month they talk about being happy as a SAHM. I thought I was the only being driven crazy by staying home all the time!
made me feel more normal!]]> Fri, 17 Feb 2006 09:51:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28496&title=books#28496 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28489&title=books#28489 Author: toniellis

I really liked Oh Baby... by Kathy Fray. She is also a NZer and mum. Very common-sense middle of the road ideas, but also describes all your options. It explains about later pregnancy, labour and birth and newborn stuff. Also have found it incredibly helpful in adjusting to being a mum. Cant rave enough about it!

I also have up the duff and the nz pregnacy book. All are good in their own ways and it depends on what you are looking for. I would get them out of the library first and then if one really takes your fancy buy that one.]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 20:03:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28451&title=books#28451 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28449&title=books#28449 Author: jax

I'm a huge fan of the Kaz Cooke pregnancy book as well, and she's done a follow-on called "Kidwrangling" which goes from early months right through the toddler years.]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 19:53:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28449&title=books#28449 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28447&title=books#28447 Author: Maya

Yeah Little Treasures are great, and for $21 a year good value.

I'm lucky that I get to do the OHbaby! Book Reviews, so get given a heap of books to read and get paid for it.

NZ Pregnancy Book by Sue Pullon is good as some others have suggested, as is The Users Guide to the NZ Pregnancy and The Users Guide to the NZ Baby both by Nicola Miller-Clendon. She's a midwife and Mum of 5 so really knows her stuff.]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 18:42:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28447&title=books#28447 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28440&title=books#28440 Author: lizzle

What to expect when you're expecting
What to expect: The First Year
What to expect: The Toddler Years.

These books are awesome, we're onto the toddler one now and they have so much information on everything!]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 14:05:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28385&title=books#28385 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28380&title=books#28380 Author: newmum

Up the Duff and New Zealand Pregnancy Book are my preferred ones....if you can get a hold of What to Expect that's quite good too though I found it a little over whelming and heavy...not all of it sat that well with me if it makes sense...still some good info though.]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 13:15:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28363&title=books#28363 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28358&title=books#28358 Author: fairsk8

I read 'up the duff' as well and also have the 'New Zealand Pregnancy Book' by Sue Pullon, it has a lot of information in it about heaps of things, like how your body changes, options for care and delivery, development of the foetus, the equipment you will need when baby is born etc. ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 13:04:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28358&title=books#28358 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28352&title=books#28352 Author: Carmel

i can highly recommend "Up the duff by Kaz Cooke"
i have read "what to expect when you are expecting", and a couple of others, but found up the duff the best.

and if you look on trademe you can find these books on there.

btw congrats on your news and welcome to the group ]]> Thu, 16 Feb 2006 11:52:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28338&title=books#28338 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1552&PID=28337&title=books#28337 Author: EKCD

Hi everyone,

We've just found out I'm pregnant - we're so excited!

We also feel completely clueless and would like to buy a great book about pregnancy (or perhaps one that goes from pregnancy through the first few months or year).

I went into the bookstore, but felt overwhelmed by the range! Can anyone recommend a great book?

Thanks!
