Just finished "Cry When Baby Cries" by Becky Bairncoat, an excellent autobiographical graphic novel about pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting through toddlerhood, including IVF and a miscarriage. It's wonderfully frank and unvarnished in its depictions of some of the horrors, while also talking about the joy and love. I don't think any book can really prepare anyone for parenthood (and everyone experiences it differently; I'm sure some won't see their experiences reflected here), but this one is better than a lot of stuff, or at least rings truer to me (relevant fact: my one-year-old is still not sleeping through the night).
