About this product

Product Information

Your Girlfriends, of course -- at least, the ones who've been through the exhilaration and exhaustion, the agony and ecstasy of pregnancy. Four-time delivery room veteran Vicki Iovine, "the Carrie Bradshaw of pregnancy" (Wall Street Journal), talks to you the way only a best friend can -- in the book that will go the whole nine months for every mother-to-be. Now, in this newly revised and updated edition, get the lowdown on all those little things that are too strange or embarrassing to ask, practical tips, and hilarious takes on everything pregnant. WhatReallyHappens to Your Body-- from morning sickness and gas to eating everything in sight -- and what it's like to go from being a babe to having one. The Many Moods of Pregnancy-- why you're so irritable/distracted/ tired/light-headed (or at least more than usual). Plus, the latest scoop on . . . Staying Stylish-- You may be pregnant, but you can still be the fashionista you've always been (or at least you don't have to look like a walking beach ball) -- wearing the hippest designers and proudly showing off your bump. Pregnancy Is Down to a Science-- from in vitro fertilization to scheduled C-section, the latest technology provides so many options, alternatives, and tests, it can all be downright confusing. . . . and much more! For a reassuring voice or just a few good belly laughs, turn to this straight-talking guide on what toreallyexpect when you're expecting.

Newsweek Leaving the medical domain to the medical professionals, Iovine focuses on the practical, social, emotional, and physiological aspects of pregnancy....Iovine and her gaggle of Girlfriends are ready with reassuring and frequently irreverent advice., USA Today With great humor and frankness, Iovine addresses the topics most women talk about only with their best friends., "American Baby"A lighthearted, helpful, and brutally honest book from someone who understands. You'll laugh and learn about what to aid (perms, maternity clothing stores), what generally can't avoid be avoided (hemorrhoids, a tendency to worry about everything), and what not to be afraid of (if you're having amniocentesis, that big needle; turning into your mother). And if you feel as though you've embarked on a nine-month-long ride on a roller coaster, the chapter called "Pregnancy Insanity" will reassure you that you're normal.

If you're expecting you need to read this book!
I read this book several times with each of my pregnancies, and I buy it for every friend or relative who is expecting. "What to Expect When You're Expecting" is an informative book and seems to be THE BOOK that everyone thinks you need to read during pregnancy. I find this book a much lighter, more fun read. Vicki Iovine has a great balance of honesty and humor. I have purchased other books of hers and have not been disappointed.

My favorite for the wrong reasons
In the midst of all advice books, stress and irrational paranoia, this read was refreshing. I turned to it every time that I felt a tinge of too much seriousness and fear coming over me. As a high risk pregnancy mom, for me every advice book was filled with potential doom. This book offered me a respite from my worries and allied me to have fun with all aspects of being pregnant. Ideal for first time pregnancies.

The Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy
Easy to read. Really hilarious! Tells you what to expect in language you can understand - a great deviation from the books with all the medical terminologies...
