Any good book to read for a first time mom? I'm trying to find something to do while I'm off work.

Fifty Shades of Grey :p

What to Expect When Expecting is actually really good.. during my first pregnancy, I'd always resort back to that book when I had any questions or concerns.. but my all time favorite was Chicken Soup for the Expectant Mother's Soul, soooooo good!

I don't know the authors to any of these off the top of my head but here we go:
skinny b*tch, bun in the oven (great for natural diet tips for pregnant women)
your pregnancy week by week (which I actually found more helpful than what to expect)
what to expect when your wife is expanding (for your partner mostly, but I died laughing)
your best birth (I think by rikki lake and somebody else)
hinge birth in the hospital (if you're even considering going natural)

"Great Expectations" is what I read for my son's pregnancy 4 years ago. Had to order it online bc its hard to find. Way better then what to expect when your expecting. It was my lifeline!

I agree with tiffnys What to Expect When You're Expecting was my lifeline when I was pregnant with my first.

Thank you all. I will definitely check them out. I work close to the book store. :)

What to eat when you're expecting helps a lot too. especially if you crave a lot of unhealthy foods. She gives tips that help fulfil those cravings in a healthier for baby way. It's also not boring. It also comes with lots of yummy recipes for cakes and smoothies. :)

Up the duff by Kaz Cooke is a great lighthearted read,  doesnt scare you with the 'what ifs' like many other books do. And you get a bit of a giggle out of it. Its one to go through week by week. I love it
