Book Reviews of The Girlfriends' Guide to PregnancyBook Review: LOVED IT! Summary: 5 StarsThis book is a must for all first time pregnant girlfriends! It is hilarious and a great opportunity for the Mom and Dad to read and learn together. It was a really fun way to share with my husband about the whole body and mind experiences that went along with being pregnant. For example when she explained bodily function happenings, my hubby could then understand that all pregnant women went through these things and I wasn't just his crazy pregnant wife!
Anyway, if you've read the book, my kids are pre-teens but I still use a "Phil"!!!!
Summary of The Girlfriends' Guide to PregnancyBeginning with the "10 Greatest Lies About Pregnancy" (number 10: Lamaze works), and ending with postpartum dementia, Vicki Iovine's Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy has fast become the laywoman's mouthpiece for the American pregnancy experience. Iovine is irreverent, sassy, and incredibly reassuring as she exposes the "truths" of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cellulite to cesareans. Iovine birthed four kids in six years, none of them twins, which certainly qualifies her as an expert. The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy does reveal Iovine's particular cultural biases (pregnant or not, most of us don't have record-producer husbands, hang out with supermodels, or wear size-four pants) and philosophical beliefs (she's not a particularly strong proponent of natural childbirth or nursing), but, taken with a grain or two of salt, she provides many hilarious moments, acres of advice, and honest reassurance readers will find nowhere else. --Ericka Lutz When you need a reassuring voice or just a few good belly laughs, turn to...
