A good book is always a great idea. As you know, a guide for future moms about care and nursing of the baby is a must, but it is also worth reading something for pleasure. It can be a detective story, thriller, romance – it doesn’t matter, the important thing is that the story presented on the pages was absorbing for us. So it is worth catching up on all the reading, especially since after the birth there will be rather little time to read anything.
