Too Much Information in Pregnancy Books
I have found that there are 2 types of pregnancy books. Informative (to the point where you know every possible thing that could go wrong) and a little less informative but entertaining. I have 3 books. The one that EVERYONE tells you to get "What to Expect While Your Expecting" and then I have Jenny McCarthy's "Belly Laughs" and "The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy".
What to Expect is very informative. I like to look a the pics that show you what you baby looks like at every week etc. Other than reading about what my baby is doing - how big it is etc. I just use the book for the index. If I have something I think could be abnormal I look it up to see what the book says. So far - everything I have looked up is perfectly normal.
Now, the other 2 books are entertaining. They can make me laugh out loud while also making me scared. ***Warning stop reading here if you can't handle the truth***
After all, both of these books have now mentioned that many women poop on the delivery room table. This - above and beyond everything else - has me scared sh%&less (we can only hope). This is the topic that I bring up to my dear husband over and over again. However, both of these books have presented this LOVELY tidbit in a way that makes me laugh and say - "well what are you going to do" (besides randomly looking and your husband and going - 'OH MY GOD, please don't let me do that and if it does happen we will NEVER speak of it again, under penalty of DIVORCE!' whenever you DO think about it.
I can't wait to see what else I learn about pregnancy and labor and delivery as I continue my quest for knowledge.
