The Mother of all Pregnancy books

I was sorting through some books in our garage today and came across two interesting little reads;

The Mother of all Pregnancy books (The ultimate guide to conception, birth and everything in between)

and;

Infertility (Learn to take charge of your condition)

I couldn't help but chuckle to myself. I remember buying the first book somewhere during the first year we were trying to conceive, and I guess at some point I believed I might actually need to read it. Thinking back I can remember reading the first few chapters but not reading past the section where I get that all too elusive positive pregnancy test! Hmmmm, I wonder how it got unceremoniously banished to the garage for all eternity? I think it's time to dust it off and pass it on to someone who really needs it, although I'm not sure anyone would want such a bad luck charm. I think I'll give it anonymously to charity to save the shame from being so public.

I bought the second book in a weak moment when I thought I really SHOULD be able to read my way out of infertility. Most couples are not REALLY infertile, right, they just need to be patient and try for longer? I thought maybe that could be us, even though that's not what Dr W had told us, but I thought it might be possible. Of course when I read through the book I discovered that it only touched the surface of infertility and I found myself scoffing at much of it's contents. I read the book a few years ago now and if I thought at the time we were super infertile that would currently put us in the extra super duper infertile category!

If you know anyone who needs a pregnancy or infertility book send them in my direction, I have two gathering dust and looking for a new owner who can help them to reach their full potential. Best be quick, they will be on their way to Goodwill very soon!
