Must Have! -- "Dead Serious" contributor Penny Aicardi,
By
This review is from: They Lied! True Tales of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Breastfeeding (Paperback)
You truly can't understand the total experience of pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding without reading this book! Sure, you can go out there and get the lowdown on medical "stuff" but what fun is that? This book is a great diversion from the so-called popular pregnancy books out there that claim to have the answers to everything. You'll feel better just knowing that we've all been there in uncomfortable, hysterical, and embarrassing situations that those "other" books just don't talk about! Besides, after all the uninvited belly rubs, pounds gained, and "leaking" breasts - who couldn't use a laugh?

This review is from: They Lied! True Tales of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Breastfeeding (Paperback)
As an internationally published humor writer, I am proud that I have a personal essay entitled "Call a Pain a Pain" in this hilarious book. Finally - a chance to vent to people other than my children about some of the frustrations I had with childbirth and breastfeeding. Now, after more than two decades, my kids can share their guilt with the world. Plus, "They Lied!" is the ultimate baby shower gift that says, "Hey, congratulations! You look like you need a laugh about now." This book rocks!

This review is from: They Lied! True Tales of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Breastfeeding (Paperback)
As a mother of 2, I'd like to recommend this book as a baby shower gift. Who needs all those pairs of little socks?
