4.0 out of 5 starsIt's ok to think about yourself when pregnant!
By Amy Bischoff on April 10, 2006
Format: Hardcover
So, for the most part the reviews are either 'OMG, this book is so funny' or 'OMG this book is so offensive!'

It's funny, no questioning that. It's crude, no questioning that either. If you find the "F" word offensive, don't buy it. If you find referring to your privates in "crude" language offensive, don't buy it. For those of us who have conquered the world of adult language and realize that words are just words there are no real problems.

Don't buy this book if you are looking to be educated about pregnancy. It's entitled "Belly Laughs". These are Jenny's anecdotal stories that we all ge to laugh about.

If you are one of those people who is horrified if you hear a pregnant woman call herself fat, say she isn't going to breastfeed or is more concerned with her own image than this "perfect beautifu life inside her" don't buy. For those of us who have actually been through pregnancy without sugar coating it, some days you do feel fat, sometimes you DO want to have sex without jr. kicking you and every once in a while we want to think more about ourselves than being pregnant. It's good that there is a book in the mainstream that validates that feeling instead of saying "all you should think about is this life inside you". Sometimes us pregnant girls want to think about our OWN lives.

4.0 out of 5 starsIt made me pee a little
By Stef on April 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This book was exactly what I needed after reading "What To Expect When Expecting." My anxiety was through the roof and I was for sure having a three headed baby. This made me come back to earth and realize women have been doing this from the start and its going to be messy. But, so is life. Cheers to making me laugh and at some points pee a little.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is hilarious!!!!
By S. M. Anderson on April 6, 2005
Format: Hardcover
I'm not expecting, but one of my best friends is expecting her first child. My coworker brought this book into work, and she said we had to read this book. I had tears running down my face. This book is a quick read and you can finish it easy in 1 - 2 days. This book takes a light hearted look at pregnancy. Pregnancy is a beautiful experience, but it was fun to read her frank and funny views on gas, the belly expanding, and the all so quiet topic of pooping on the delivery table. There were so many moments when I laughed out loud and had to look around to make sure no one was looking at me all strange.

Some of her other funny stories includes; craving mustard, when she hated mustard. Jenny liking mumus because nothing else fit. Jenny having strange dreams while pregnant. Dealing with hemorrhoids, weighing her breast. Her trying to keep her boobs from hanging off the sides of the mattress due to their size. Surrender to the maternity bra. A pregnant woman's fart can truly bring a man to his knees. I had to find tissue after reading that line. I had so many laughing tears running down my face. The different changes the body go through. Crying for no reason due to hormonal changes, and pregnancy stupids. Skin changes, pregnant head, bad headaches and wanting to saw the head off. Premature labor. Hating skinny women. How she panicked when the epidural wore off and her concerns was still "Am I pooping on the table." Don't make a pregnant woman want to pee.

This book is not meant to be a pregnancy guide, it's meant to take a light hearted comical look at going through the pregnancy experience. I mean the book is after all called Belly Laughs. If you are expecting this book to have some new insight on pregnancy then you will be mistaken.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsBig Disappointment
By Devon C. Morgan on August 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Hate this book. I read the reviews before buying so I expected a funny book to help relieve some tension about my first pregnancy. This book was anything but that. She is crude and not very tasteful (although to her defense she does not claim to be in any way). But not only that- the book isn't funny at all and it is not at all informative. I thought I would be learning a lot in a funny way but most of the stuff she talks about is very common knowledge and she mostly just tells stories about silly things in her pregnancy. Keep in mind I didn't finish the book (I only read half) and I just didn't find her or her stories to be funny. I also purchased what to expect when you're expecting and am very happy with that book. If you're looking for an informative read during your pregnancy I would go with that one.

3.0 out of 5 starsJust okay. Funny sometimes, a little worrisome at other times.
By Falafel on March 13, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Everyone recommends this book when you're pregnant, and it was an entertaining, quick read. Jenny's book was just okay- I think it found itself funnier than it was (like it wanted to be Chelsea Handler but just couldn't quite get there). I think it sends a good message in many respects, although I was so shocked by the unconditional self-acceptance of her weight gain. I absolutely don't judge her for the weight gain- it's something I was sensitive about since the day I learned I was pregnant. Being 30 weeks pregnant myself, and 30lbs gained already, I'm not exactly the poster child for perfect pregnancy weight gain. I've known lots of people who gain 50 or so pounds. Totally understandable. But 80lbs? I don't judge Jenny McCarthy as though she had no self-control- I actually wonder if something was wrong, medically, because that seems abnormally high to me. Indicative of not eating too many cheeseburgers, but maybe of a more serious condition. The reason I raise this point is, I think making light of gaining that weight in pregnancy is a poor message to send- if the reader is experiencing a similar rise in body weight, I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to discuss it with a medical professional, and not pass it off as normal because Jenny McCarthy says so.

This book was so superficial. I learned nothing and didn't find it amusing either. I have no idea why this is so widely recommended to pregnant women.
