Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This is the first and only humor book about the No. 1 complaint of pregnancy. Better than a "get well" card any day!

5.0 out of 5 stars FULL OF PRACTICAL, TRULY HELPFUL ADVICE, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

IT IS RARE TO FIND SOMEONE WITH SUCH REMARKABLE INSIGHT INTO THE PLIGHT OF THE PREGNANT WOMAN WHO SUFFERS TERRIBLY FROM "MORNING SICKNESS". THE BOOK IS EASY TO READ AT A TIME WHEN ONE FINDS IT DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE. THE ILLUSTRATIONS HELPED ME FIND THE HUMOR IN A TOPIC I USUALLY DO NOT FIND VERY FUNNY. THE BOOK IS FULL OF SIMPLE YET USEFUL ADVICE. EVEN AFTER ALL THE HELPFUL HINTS I RECEIVED FROM FRIENDS AND RELATIVES, I STILL FOUND A PLENITUDE OF NEW ADVICE IN THIS WONDERFUL BOOK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful AM, PM or in between!, August 8, 2000

Being sick is the WORST thing about being pregnant..it's certainly not very funny. The cartoons in this book really hit the nail on the head! Even if you are too sick to read, flip a page and you'll see your situation illustrated. Brilliant work. Every OB should be recommending this book from office visit #1..as well as very receptionist who answers the phone from a woman who is despite for an early appointment!
