About this listen

Your doctor gives you medical advice. Your mother buys you baby clothes. But who can give you the real skinny when you’re pregnant?

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 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. In this 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.

What really happens 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/lightheaded (or at least more than usual).
  • 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 beachball) - wearing the hippest designers and proudly showing off your bump.
  • Pregnancy is down to a science - from in vitro fertilization to scheduled c-sections, there are so many options, alternatives, and scientific tests to take that being pregnant can 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 to really expect when you’re expecting.

Thankful for my partner

Overall this book was a funny and a straight up way to describe the craziness of pregnancy. As a first time pregnant mum it was a relief to hear all the nitty gritty of things so many won’t talk about. But over all this, this book just made me feel even more blessed for my partner, and that my partner was absolutely nothing like those described in the books. My main issue with this book is how men are talked about as out of touched, un caring and that we should just accept it. Some of the things were shocking for me to hear that some women had put up with from their partners, and as I said, this made me so thankful for my partner and how in touch and caring he has been. I truly do hope this book has over exaggerated the incompetence of some people’s partners…
