This book is hilarious and frightening at the same time. No subject is off limits to Jenny, which is actually very helpful if you've never been through a pregnancy before. No other pregnancy book will be this candid, so some of the topics may come as a surprise. Like Jenny asks, why don't women warn each other about these things??? Don't be deterred though - you will be laughing your way through the chapters. ( )

I loved this book! I loved how honest Jenny McCarthy was about all the things she went through. It really is the "naked truth" to pregnancy and childbirth. My best friend gave me this book to read when I had my baby and boy was I glad she did. It's always good to be prepared. I plan to read it again with my second pregnancy. ( )

I LOVED this book! When I started to read this one, it was hard for me to put it down. She offers her own experience plus tells you things that NO OTHER PREGNANCY BOOK WILL TELL YOU! This information is VALUABLE especially like the first timer, like me. ( )

What the heck does Jenny McCarthy know about pregnancy? Well, as it turns out, this might not be the most scientific pregnancy manual around, but it's very honest, and pretty darn funny. Each short chapter is dedicated to a pregnancy experience or wacky symptom, such as 'Holy Shit, I Think I Hard-Boiled My Baby' (getting in a jacuzzi), 'Is That An Apple on Your Rectum, or Are You Just Happy to See Me' (Hemorrhoids), and 'Poopin' on the Table' (the dark side of delivery). It's the perfect light reading pick for the OB waiting room, just beware of funny looks from others, since you'll be laughing out loud! While it was a hilarious read, and I was able to relate to most of it, I probably wouldn't recommend purchasing it, because it is such a short book. Check it out from the local library instead, like I did. Also, worshippers of the typical pregnancy bibles or those who are easily offended should probably stay away too! ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0738210072, Paperback)

Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There's the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy! In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or, indeed, has ever been born!
