Summary: What a great change from the norm!
Comment: I recently purchased this book and I love it. The advice is wonderful and "tells it like it is". The illustrations are too funny. If you want a straight-forward guide to pregnancy without the paranoia, this is the book for you.

Summary: Such a nice change from my other pregnancy books!
Comment: I'm pregnant with my first child and fed up with books like 'Your Pregnancy Week by Week' which seemed designed to make you feel both guilt and terror in equal measure for your entire pregnancy. It's so nice to read a book that addresses all the important things a mom-to-be needs/wants to know without ever being condescening or bullying in its agenda. The clip art illustrations and captions have me rolling on the floor with laughter, and the writing is also witty and smart.
This isn't the book I would turn to if I have a very specific medical question, but it does help my mental health enormously! (Laughter is the best antidote to stress.) I plan to buy it for all my friends as they become pregnant.

Summary: Definately not mumsy!
Comment: This is one of the growing new trend of pregnancy guides - it tries to be the antithesis of the 'What to expect when you are expecting' genre by being hip and sassy. A lot of this hip and sassiness seems to translate as cutting comments, but there is still a lot going for this book.
It does give you many of the answers you are sure to be looking for - such as those relating to the gross things that happen to your body and if you can ever have sex again (though this may seem self evident if you know anyone who has more than one child!) It also manages to avoid the preachy tone of many books that realising that yes, you may have the occassional drink or cigarette, and while it is not recommended, don't stress, you aren't the first.
It is easy to overdose on pregnancy books - each one might have a little something differnt, so perhaps you should just buy each one. Or maybe you should just get one, and use a bit of common sense. And why not this one? Truth be told, the best bits are the illustrations - from 1950s advertisements and magazines, recaptioned with an appropriate witty and biting style, they are sure to have you laughing
