Reading material
I tend to think the What to Expect books are yukky. I have liked all the Sears books I've read. We have The Baby Book from that series, which was very informative and a great reference--I can't remember anything we needed to know that we didn't find in it. I borrowed The Pregnancy Book from my sil this time, and wished I'd had it the first time around. They also have The Labor Book, The Breastfeeding Book, etc. etc.
I think I've already recommended the labor and delivery section of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom as the one thing I most wished I'd read before actually going through labor.
And I'd second what bnb says about not giving up on bfing too quickly. I've never known anyone for whom it was a piece of cake from the get-go. With #1 it took nearly 3 months before it was totally easy and automatic. In the long run, though, it was Totally Worth It.
