Summary: Gals, this guide tells it like it is!
Comment: I enjoyed reading this when I was 9 mos. pregnant. SOme parts were so funny I found myself laughing out loud - like what it's really like when your milk comes in and how you feel the days right AFTER childbirth, how to deal with mother in laws and family that want to hord your baby away from you. It's written in an entertaining way, but definitely prepares you for what to expect out of childbirth and parenting that first year. I would say it's a comprehensive how-to guide, but definitely good for a humorous outlook on what you're about to get in to! Would make a great shower gift! I also recommend Jenny McCarthy's Baby Laughs book for a great laugh.

Summary: Amusing-Kind of Like Reading a Computer Manual by a Computer-Illiterate Person
Comment: I found "A Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy" entertaining, so I bought this book after I'd had my first child. Not only does the author not base her childrearing philosophy on biology, psychology, or commone sense, but she ridicules people who do. She boasts about breastfeeding each of her kids less than the one before, which shows a basic lack of understanding of health issues. If you are looking for a humorous slant on infancy, then this might amuse you. If you are looking for a book to base your own parenting on, then don't.

Summary: Spunky and Fun
Comment: Iovine really hits on the way new moms can feel with this one. I read it about 3 weeks after my first baby and I was very pleased to humorously read about the same trials I was having. It also gave me a really good heads up for the coming months and I felt a lot more prepared for what was to come.

Summary: A must for New Moms who aren't only Moms but Women too!
Comment: I haven't read this book in a while since my kids are 4 and 2, but I will tell you that I did read it both times I had a newborn. I recommend this book to everyone, and buy it for everyone I can!
If you don't have a sense of humor, or if you really are living the dream world with a husband who rubs your feet, gets up with the baby and doesn't want to play "Rock, Paper, Scissor" everytime you ask him to change a diaper DON'T READ THIS!!
If you do live in reality, want the true story from someone who's lived it (4 times, Vicki has 4 kids), and don't won't take the whole thing too seriously then READ THIS BOOK!!!
Enjoy, and Welcome to Motherhood!!!!
