5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book!, August 15, 2005

An honest and refreshing account of what it is like to prepare for and be pregnant. It is not meant to be a medical journal but is rather a witty account of Jools Oliver's own experiences. I appreciated the honesty and the information that was given. It is very well written and I could not put it down! Some of the stories were hilarious!

I highly recommend this book for women who are like me planning a family or for those who are already pregnant. This would have to be one of the best books I have read during my preparation for starting a family. Thanks, Jools for your openess! I am so looking forward to any sequels!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, August 9, 2005

I bought this book because I've been interested in Jools Oliver, and also because I plan to become a mother myself in the next few years.
It is a beautifully presented book, which has been styled to look like a diary, and it has a handy little ribbon inside to use as a bookmark.
The content of the book is really interesting and follows Jools as she tries to conceive, becomes pregnant and has her first daughter. She's really honest, and that's very refreshing. It's an excellent resource for those women planning on becomming mothers, or those pregnant with their first child.
I think it's great- well done Jools! I look forward to reading any future book you decide to write!

I bought this on a trip to Dublin with my husband. I have enjoyed Jamie Oliver`s tv show and books for a while. This was a great look at what happens at home behind the cameras and also an honest look at being a new mother. I plan to start trying next year, so some of it was scary, funny, and gave you a lot to thank about. The style is easy to read and I finished in a weekend. Lots of pictures, some recipes, and practical lists which I love!
