An update - what has been going on...
I have been rather sporadic in the postings lately, so to give a bit of an update (and for a bit more of a blog feel rather than terse Facebook postings)...
For those not following Facebook...
I am 13 weeks pregnant. 12 week scan was last week and the ultrasound was all good.
Things appear to have calmed down now, in that in contrast to the previous ~6 weeks, this past week has not been filled with nausea and a complete and utter lack of energy. Hurrah !!! That timed awfully well with presenting at a conference in Adelaide last week. It had not combined well with things like DA and friends wedding last month... Hence some projects ended up being far less advanced than their initial intentions.
I may start calling for suggestions later re specific recommendations eg for (cloth) nappies (sources/make your own?) etc, but for now:
What links/books do people recommend?
So far I have been looking at*:
Conception, Pregnancy and Birth by Miriam Stoppard
and various websites, including giggling at the fruit size comparison - apparently we are now at "peach".
There have been others hit on by random searching.
I have had "Oh Baby" by Kathy Fray recommended as an NZ take on things.
Any other suggestions?
* Cause I always get annoyed at people who ask for blanket info without indicating they have made some effort to find some of their own first...

If you are interested in homebirth and/or attachment parenting, with a feminist perspective, and have time for a forum, come and say hi at Joyous Birth.
And congratulations again! I'll give you the only piece of advice I ever give to prospective parents, which is: ignore all the advice and do what feels right to you. Enjoy the adventure :)
