A funny, irreverent look at pregnancy. ( )

I loved the REAL approach to pregnancy. It was refreshing to read a pregnancy book that didn't make me feel guilty or like I should be doing more to have a "perfect" pregnancy. ( )

I've read quite a few pregnancy books lately, and this was one of my favorites. It is a light read that addresses all of the ups and downs of our crazy nine months with brutal honesty and humor - the 'Sex and the City' of pregnancy guides. Most books of this genre barely gloss over or omit entirely the crappy and embarrassing side effects that crop up during pregnancy, and the more 'serious' books (What to Expect) have a preachy tone to them. From morning sickness to diet to skin weirdness to birth this book offers the reader practical and realistic advice. I can't think of another pregnancy manual that details what REALLY happens to your hoo-ha following labor...haha! Some prudish readers might be offended by some of the content and commentary (and its against the grain view of the whole 'magical' experience), but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm definitely not one of those women who 'loves being pregnant' (no hearts and flowers here!), so this book really helped me realize that I am not alone and not a bad momma for feeling this way! ( )

I read this book every time I get pregnant, repeatedly. It always helps me laugh at the discomfort and know that it will pass. After 5 kids and 2 miscarriages, that's a lot of repeats, and I still love it. ( )

Love this! Made me laugh out loud! ( )
