Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This opinionated handbook solves the expectant mother's fashion crises (including the Protruding Bellybutton Dilemma and Outgrown Maternity Clothes); gives you 1,001 (well, maybe six) ways to avoid sex in late pregnancy; helps you select the least wimpy name for your baby; tells the truth about just how much the "nesting syndrome" will cost you; and much more than you'll ever need (or want) to know!

This review is from: Expect the Unexpected When You're Expecting! (Paperback)

I read this book during my first pregnancy, and honestly, it was more helpful than all the medical guides. It got me to laugh at myself, the perfect de-stressor for the tense expectant mother. From descriptions of the various kinds of birth attendants (like the Old Geezer, who actively dislikes women and treats pregnancy as a disease) to exercises you can do (walk like an Egyptian, waddle like a duck...) to what you'll be looking like this month (stuck in the bathtub) it covers everything (except the medical.) Most expectant mothers with sense of humor will appreciate the authors' gentle poking-of-fun at pregnancy, a laughter that never turns mean or hurtful. The only thing I didn't really like were the tax tips.

This book is a quick read, it is very funny. Who couldn't use a good laugh when they are 10 months pregnant. Or when you are sitting at home holding your sleeping newborn.

I got this in the first trimester of my first pregnancy, when I was excited but really nervous. It's really funny and it is reassuring because it made me feel like there's no point in being nervous. I should just enjoy the ride and hope for the best.
