My anti-recommendation is What To Expect When You're Expecting (http://www.amazon.com/What-Expect-When-Youre-Expecting/dp/0761148574/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210728884&sr=8-1) which should be known as "What Can Go Wrong If You Don't Eat Properly". I've heard good things about The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy (http://www.amazon.com/Girlfriends-Guide-Pregnancy-Vicki-Iovine/dp/B000WMKJYS/ref=pd_bbs_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1210728944&sr=1-1) but not read it myself. Mostly I spent time on misc.kids.pregnancy but that has been taken over by trolls and spammers unfortunately. If you're interested in reading other people's birth stories and/or seeing birth photos then Birth Diaries (http://www.birthdiaries.com/) is a very interesting website.
