The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy (Or Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You)



Your mother buys you baby clothes. Your doctor gives you medical advice. But who can you trust to give you the real skinny when you're pregnant? Your girlfriends, of course!

“A breath of fresh air,” as one mom calls it, Vicki Iovine’s “The Girlfriends’ Guide to Pregnancy” is a long-standing favorite of mommies-to-be. A four-time delivery room veteran, Iovine believes women learn the really valuable things about pregnancy from other women. She speaks to you the way only a best friend can – straight talk about the things you’re too embarrassed to share with your mom or doctor.

In a voice that is both sassy and reassuring, she exposes the "truths" of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cesareans to cellulite.

“The Girlfriends’ Guide” doesn’t take the place of "What to Expect When You Are Expecting" but it isn’t meant to. When you need a break from your collection of serious, clinical books, this book offers a candid, witty and humorous take on all things pregnant.

I read this book for my 1st pregnancy and loved it.  It was funny and very informative.  It does tell you many things that your doctor won't tell you.

My doctor told me the basics and this does tell  you the little things that you might be embarrassed to ask.

A good easy read.
