This is a pretty entertaining, easy-to-read pregnancy book. By focusing on how terrible things can be, it was actually reassuring for me to read that what I was experiencing was perfectly normal and pretty mild compared to some women. The fashion section is a little out-dated (think 80's), but overall I enjoyed it.

Before I knew that this was a companion to the actual book, this was the diary I had with my first child. Not really much space for it to be practical as a diary, but fun little excerpts and passages from the book.

This book is soooo funny and it puts all your common fears regarding pregnancy to rest!

This book is hilarious! It makes you feel better about the changes in your body as you grow, and helps you to understand what you will face post-partum

Outdated and not that helpful. Guess my funny bone wasn't working while I was reading this one.

Fun read during pregnancy. Strongly disagree with their advice not to use a midwife for a first pregnancy.

Not worth it. My pregnant brain would never remember to write in it!
