The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy
by Authors:
Vicki Iovine
Paperback Description:
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
Average Customer Rating:
Straight forward and humorous!
As a new expecting mom, I found myself worried about everything and overwhelmed with baby's stuff. This book gives me better perspective with straight forward and humorous answers!
Fun, different twist on pregnancy
I bought this book for myself, after a friend told me she'd get it for me and then never did! Anyway, I get annoyed with traditional pregnancy books (What to Expect, etc.) because they can be so dry. You don't have to worry about this with Vicki's book! Reading it is like sitting down with your girlfriends who will give it to you straight. She tells it like it is, with a good dose of sarcasm and humor, and I really appreciated that. I now buy this book for all of my out-of-state first time Mommy girlfriends when they find out they are pregnant.
I wish she'd come out with an updated addition of the book, however. Some of the information seems a little outdated.
Great book - I'd love to see it updated
I'm on my second pregnancy and this book is still funny and reassuring. I have laughed out loud at many of the sections.
My only complaint is that the chapter on maternity clothing is very outdated - as well as a few other more minor items. It would be wonderful if they released an updated version (the book is 11 years old now).
Still, this is a great additional book to have when you get tired of reading the "official" pregnancy books you have about what is happening to you and your growing baby. And, it makes you feel like a MUCH better pregnant person! (Someone else broke a few of the rules too!)
