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!

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!

This book is great because you feel like you are getting truthful advice...the good, bad and humerous...from a close friend. I loved the pictures and insight into the Oliver family. Her advice from what she really used from her hospital bag to easy, nutritious, kid friendly food makes it an excellent reference book to keep on hand. Truely one of my favourites!!

I bought this book on recommendation from a friend. Being 7 months pregnant at the moment, I can really relate to what Jools was feeling throughout her pregnancy(s). I found it very insightful as parts refer to infertility and what options there are out there to help people fall pregnant. I also had a good laugh at myself as I read about certain aspects of Jools' pregnancy(s). A MUST HAVE!!!

This book tells you just like it is! The wonderfull thing is that Jools can laugh about herself and her behaviour. I realy had to laugh out loud about a lot of hilarious moments and I couldn't stop reading. It has some adoring family pictures and a section with tips about shops, to do lists and more.
The book is a absolute must have for those who are planning to become a mummy or those who already have small children. I have one and I recognized a lot of the situations she described. By the way also the people who are interested in a little peek into the private life of Jamie Olivers family should read this book!!
