This book was very useful to me. I learned more about what to expect about recovery from delivery (especially my C-Section) from this book than I did from the childbirth classes. This book is actually out-of-print so check ebay and Amazon.com to find it. You may also find it at a local used bookstore.

This book didn't really have any new information I hadn't gleaned from other pregnancy books.
