I bought this book while living abroad in Africa. I didn't have a clue about pregnancy and was totally overwhelmed and frightened by the whole experience. The LAST thing I needed was Dr. Spock textbooks or touchy feely earth mother jibe. I felt icky in my first trimester and, living abroad, really needed something practical and empathetic, and this book hit the spot. The author doesn't take herself seriously and presents all the tricky and weird parts of pregnancy in a non-scary, easy-to-swallow format for beginners. There were even weeks when the changes in my own body seemed to be following the book week for week. With each week I become more comfortable with facing the pregnancy, able to digest this big change in my life and start to enjoy myself. Reading each week with my husband was a great way for us to learn about the pregnancy together. I highly recommend this book for first-time mothers to be looking for some humor and a gentle introduction to this wonderful change.

Get this book if you like Bridget Jones Diaries! You will be laughing when you reach each hurdle in pregnancy. It is informative, even if you do not licve in England it is all releltive info.

For those women who may be struggling with the joy of being pregnant this book will help you find that missing joy and understand all your frustrations.
