The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy: Or everything your doctor won't tell you
When you need a reassuring voice or just a few good belly laughs, turn to... The Girlfriends' Interactive Guide to Pregnancy Month by Month... Your Body... Your Mind... Getting Prepared... Your Baby... For Dads, too! System Requirements for Windows?: Beginning 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

I just finished this book. I did not pick it up to glean knowledge, but as a fun read about pregnancy. But sorry, I didn't have much fun.I scanned through a few other reviews and the opinion is divided on Vicki Iovine's wisdom. Clearly,...

- What to expect if you have no self esteem and view pregnancy as a burden
After reading this book as a newly-pregnant woman, I decided that I would view my pregnancy and body in the exact opposite terms of this author. So far, so good. The ten point list on the inner cover tells you everything you need to...

- Humorous and full of dirty details, but somewhat judgmental
This is the first pregnancy book that I have read from start to finish. It's an easy and fast read, and very funny. My favorite part is renaming "morning sickness" as "progesterone poisoning" - which really is a much more accurate and...
