Trying to get pregnant can quickly turn into endless Googling, conflicting advice and information overload. 📚🤍
So I’ve put together 5 books worth adding to your preconception reading list—to help you understand your cycle, fertility, preconception health and the evidence behind many of the choices you’ll encounter.
📖 Taking Charge of Your Fertility — Toni Weschler
A detailed guide to understanding your cycle, fertile window and fertility awareness.
🥚 It Starts with the Egg — Rebecca Fett
Explores research around egg quality, lifestyle, nutrition and environmental factors. Remember: not every recommendation applies to everyone, so individualise changes with your doctor.
🌸 What to Expect Before You’re Expecting — Heidi Murkoff
A practical overview of preparing your body and lifestyle before pregnancy.
📊 Expecting Better — Emily Oster
A data-focused look at commonly discussed pregnancy recommendations—useful for asking better questions and making informed decisions with your healthcare professional.
💕 The Impatient Woman’s Guide to Getting Pregnant — Jean M. Twenge
An accessible read covering conception, timing and some of the questions that come up while TTC.
One important reminder: a book can educate you, but it cannot replace personalised medical advice. Your age, ovarian reserve, medical history and fertility diagnosis can completely change what is appropriate for you.
✨ Knowledge doesn’t guarantee pregnancy—but it can help you approach the journey with more clarity and confidence.
