Books about pregnancy or parenting, but not “how to” books.

Hi fellow book fans! We’re expecting our second child this fall and I feel like we read all the how-to books possible with the first kid. I want to read some books about the history, sociology, or philosophical context of pregnancy, childbirth, or parenting. Open to memoirs too, but I tentatively prefer stuff more wide-reaching in scope.

One in this category that I read was “Act Natural: A Cultural history of Misadventures In Parenting” and that was great.

Thanks for your suggestions!
