Are you feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information surrounding you as you approach the day your baby arrives? Don't worry! We have loads of pregnancy and birth articles to help you, and we have also chosen some of the best-selling pregnancy books on Amazon.

You don't need to buy all of these books but pick and choose which ones catch your interest and match the style of parenting you'd like to try. With all the digital distractions on our phones these days, from online shopping to social media, it can be hard to think about sitting down and reading a whole book. Why not curl up with a warm drink and settle down for a relaxing half hour or so.

When your tiny baby is only 18 weeks old they begin to hear their first sounds. From then, their hearing will get stronger till they can hear voices. Try reading to your baby so that they can learn the sounds and tones of your voice.

Being pregnant can be a nerve-wracking time. There are so many new challenges and worries, so much to buy and don't even get us started on picking a name. Pregnancy books should alleviate some of these fears with useful tips and tricks from experts and seasoned parenting professionals.

Pregnancy is hard enough. Growing a whole human being is exhausting work. You should read pregnancy books as a source of excitement. Try not to focus too heavily on using it as a textbook guide to life. Unfortunately, like most things in life, knowledge is key but at the end of the day, you will find what works best for you.

We have picked the best-selling pregnancy books which will make you feel just that. So check out our list below:
