Expecting Better by Emily Oster! I’m currently pregnant and reading her second book too (Cribsheet).
I also started tracking my ovulation w/cheap test strips about 6 months out so I could get an idea of what my typical cycle looked like
Thank you!! I’m adding these to my to-read list for sure

Pregable test strips from Amazon and the Smile Reader App for sure! Planning 6 months in advance might feel silly to you in the end, as it did for us. We are on 3 years of TTC. Just start when you both feel ready - no need to wait a prescribed amount of time - is my biggest advice. ❤️
Thank you so much for the recommendation and for sharing. Best of luck to your and your partner 💛💛

Taking charge of your fertility to understand how getting pregnant actually works. Expecting better for more modern/practical pregnancy advice, I liked the ina may book about labor. Taking cara babies for newborn care/sleep help and big little feelings + Janet Lansbury for parenting advice

We liked precious little sleep too!
Start taking prenatal vitamins before you start trying!
Moms on call for the first 6 months. You can pick what you choose to implement, but I credit that book for getting my kid to sleep 8 hours by 2 months. Right when I was about to lose it from lack of sleep. Whew!
Amazing thank you so much for the heads up haha I’ll be adding this to my list

Bringing up Bebe was an easy read. Not too prescriptive. Our little one is sleeping through the night, since 2.5 mos. Didn’t cry it out but did the “pause” and nudged her into a feeding routine pretty early. Sound machine, black out curtains, love the magic Merlin more than the halo swaddles we used earlier. Get some help during the week before you return to work, just to catch a break. Enjoy the snuggles!
