"I started to read many medical/informative pregnancy books when I was pregnant with my daughter. They all freaked me out. This was the only book I actually finished and it was informative from a real life perspective and full of honesty and humor. I highly suggest this for any mother-to-be or mother. This helped me to be positive and have less worry up through my delivery."

    " You kind of have to take some of this with a grain of salt. But I admit, I did laugh out loud and giggle at quite a few parts. Maybe I just don't remember that well, or maybe I blocked it out, but not everything was true for me. Funny read, though. "

    " This book got a lot of terrible reviews, but it is what it is. One girl's light-hearted experience with the strangeness of pregnancy. I found it entertaining and endearing and enjoyed her poking fun of the embarrasing sides of pregnancy that only a pregnant mother can understand. "

    " this was pretty funny. i read it in about 45 minutes and then mailed it to a friend- its cute. I just try to forget that she ended up divorced from the father and that the baby has autism spectrum disorder. "

    " I bought this book right after I found out I was pregnant for my first child. I lost count how many times I laughed out loud. I read this book easily in a day and then read it again a few weeks later. Definitely a fun read for me. Informative in a humorous, no fluff sort of way. "
