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! ( )

I found this book to be very entertaining, however not a decent source of information. Each chapter/ topic seemed rushed and not fully explored. i was hoping for a more indepth personal experience rather than a brisk jog through her pregnancy. This book was enjoyable with it's candor but nothing more than that. ( )

A good read for the pregnant woman looking to find some humor in the crazy things that are happening to her body. However not a book tat I would go to looking for information related to pregnancy. ( )

Jenny McCarthy's Belly Laughs is nothing short of adorable. I am currently expecting my second child, and picked up this book after hearing several positive reviews from other expectant mothers. McCarthy is straight-forward and honest about the joys and tribulations of pregnancies without ever losing her sense of humor. She makes several "taboo" subjects approachable, and in the face of so many books aimed at "scaring" pregnant women into doing things a certain way, McCarthy gives readers the bare facts while reassuring them that they can handle anything mother nature throws at them. Even if they don't agree with some of her choices, McCarthy's experiences will amuse and reassure her audience - especially those expecting their first baby. ( )

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!
