I actually bought this book on the advice of a friend back when I was pregnant with my first
child in 2005. While it didn't offer a whole lot of advice on the pregnancy/baby/parenting adventure I was about to embark on, it did make me laugh so hard I thought I'd go into labor. I heard about this book in college from a friend who mentioned it made the perfect baby shower gift and that every pregnant woman should read it. I don't know about EVERY pregnant woman, but if you want a good laugh, this is the book for you.

I heard about this book in college from a friend who mentioned it made the perfect baby shower gift and that every pregnant woman should read it. I don't know about EVERY pregnant woman, but if you want a good laugh, this is the book for you.Ms. Iovine explains her way through her pregnancies with a mixture of sarcasm and realism. She bluntly talks about body changes, breast feeding, delivery, and more. I especially love the part where she describes how her, um..., relationship with her husband changed when she was pregnant. While I don't believe this book is necessary to read before giving birth, it definitely gave me a break from all the serious aspects of pregnancy and let me know that someone out there understands the frustration and inevitable humor that comes with being pregnant!
