CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I haven't used any books this time round but I can recommend the babycentre website. http://www.babycenter.com/
I use the UK one, I think it's ran by the same people though.

I second these two, I am planning to read them in a while because I want to do the Bradley method of childbirth.
In my first pregnancy I liked Your Pregnancy Week by Week by Dr. Curtis.
www.babycenter.com is a good idea too.

My favorites are The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth by Henci Goer and The Birth Book by Dr. Sears. I also liked My Pregnancy Week-by-Week, which I think someone else recommended already.

I have loved 'Up the Duff' by Kaz Cooke. It is very much a layperson's guide to pregnancy and childbirth, and it has been very helpful.

Well during my first pregnancy I read "What to expect when your expecting" like if it was the Bible! During my second pregnancy I just scanned through it when I was looking for answers to a question and with this one I haven't even found the book!
I've been coming on-line to boards and also americanbaby.com, babycenter.com and pregnancyandbaby.com.

I would reccomend:
Active Brith by Janet Balaskas - it talks about being upright and mobilre for birth, how to prepare for that, and gives parctical ideas for how to make that work in the hospital
Birthing From Within- it's a little New Agey, and I didn't do all the art stuff--but the information is so great--it really, really psycholocgically prepares you for birth better than any other book out there.
Secong the recommendations on Henci Goer's book , Ina May's Book, and the Sears Books...

I am also a huge fan of Birth as an American Rite of Passage by Robbie Davis Floyd...not a birth book per se...but very helpful nonetheless in making more concrete one's resolve about what choices they will make in the hospital.
