My wife just had her first pregnancy doctor's appointment and I am feeling under prepared. I am looking for worthwhile and hopefully empirically based books about pregnancy and parenting. I normally have no problems doing my own research and scourging the library to find out what I need but there's so much it's overwhelming.

So what books have you all read that are worthwhile? What is worth looking at?

My recommendation is to give the book “Precious Little Sleep” a read.

My friend Anna mentioned at dinner the other night something about her archive having books; maybe she has it for loan/purchase.
