    What all books read / Music during ur pregnancy??

    Hi All,

    This is Shilpa,
    I want to know what all books to be read during the pregnancy .
    My daily routine begins with Pooja to Lord Venkateshwara and Ganapatii.
    I also read Vishnu Sahasranamam.

    I work in MNC, so constant reading is important here, so ladies can I also read out subject lines, my doubt is does my baby starts knowing about my company and work right from now it self :thumbsup.

    What kind of music should hear, any filmy or always devotional .
    Please let me know your pointers.

    Thanks
    Shilpa.

    Re: What all books read / Music during ur pregnancy??

    shilpa, i am not a very religious person so on those grounds wont be of any help i am afraid!
    but i read a whole bunch of pregnancy books like

    Fetal attraction by Dr Duru Shah
    what to expect when you expecting
    the pregnancy book by martha sears
    while waiting by Dr George Verilli

    Now reading
    What to expect in first year

    The book my DH enjoyed reading was
    Daddy needs a Drink! by robert wilder

    there are few other books i have got to be read later once my baby is out.
    Plus i am subscribed to Mother and Baby magazine...

    theres a documentary my DH downloaded for me.. i loved watching it..by Discovery.. dont quite remember the name but its a lovely little video(a movie rather)
    it showed every single fetal stage right upto C section and vaginal delivery.. amazing!
