No. I didn't read much at all about pregnancy when I was pregnant, being (to my surprise and chagrin) one of those people who actually doesn't want to know too much about what can go wrong (I mean, I read the basics, but I didn't want to go into gory detail).
However, I FINALLY got around to asking my best friend (who is much more like you in this respect) the books she found helpful:
The Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy (primarily a medical book)
The Birth Partner (presumed audience is, well, the partner ("Dads, Doulas, and All Other Labor Companions"); my friend is married het so she may not have been reading for non-married-het compliance, so that's something you might want to check before looking too closely at it)
