Oh hon, I feel you. This gets me because I felt the same way. I still do. I have a 19 month old toddler.
Start here: Parenting from the Inside Out.
This book will really help you decipher your family, and really give you hope and tools for not reproducing their problems onto your little beauty of a tiny awesome person.
It's pretty straightforward and incredibly useful.
Then read this and this. Yes read them while you're pregnant because again they will give you hope and insight.
Buy this book and start reading it now too. We call it the Baby Bible in our house.
It's a survival manual for the first year of their life. It has everything. I don't know how many times we've pulled it down and flipped to the index at 2:00 am. It's better than Google. It's fantastic. (That said, it has an angle like all parenting books, even though it tries not to. They are attachment parenting writers. Nothing wrong with attachment parenting per se, just an awareness all parenting books have angles, even the impartial ones.)
Also, if you're anything like me, avoid all the happy, glowing, blowing-stardust-and-glitter-up-your-ass, pregnancy books out there. These did nothing but enrage me. I'm talking about What to Expect and similar. Unless you like stardust and bullshit, avoid avoid avoid.
Basically if you go to a thrift store and there's 8 copies of the damn pregnancy or parenting book on the shelf, don't buy it.
Instead check out books like this and this and this.
Now I haven't read those exact books, unlike all my other recommendations above, all of which I've personally read as a scared, overwhelmed pregnant lady or new mom. But as long as you stay in the 'brutally honest' lane and away from the 'syrupy sweet, guilt laden, shame' lane, then you'll be fine.
Even in 2019 there's a mountain of mommy advice bullshit books out there. Keep your instincts and your wits about you, don't forget who you are. Stay strong. And work on yourself with books like Parenting from the Inside Out and the How to Talk books.
I liked From the Hips for an easy primer on pregnancy. It's sort of magazine style so you can pick it up and put it down as you like, and it's very easy to read and non-judgemental.
From the Hips was my favorite. Honest and much less fear mongering than many I've read.
