This review is from: Bear With Me: What They Don't Tell You About Pregnancy and New Motherhood (Paperback)

I received this as a gift in my third trimester and I swear I pulled a muscle laughing while reading. The author takes you through her pregnancy, labor and infant care. Why would I care about someone else's pregnancy when I've got my own to occupy me? Because she discusses the ugly moods as well as the beautiful moments, all with a healthy dose of humor and perspective. This doesn't replace any instructional reading you may want to do about labor or child care, but it is a welcome diversion from it and a quick read. Good for any parent, but because the author is half of a lesbian couple, I expect it is even better for two-mother families.
