Customer Reviews

Fun read!

A really fun read -- there are plenty of serious pregnancy books out there, but sometimes you just need to laugh about the crazy things that are happening to you!

FABULOUS BOOK-Tons of info

I LOVED this book. I am on my second pregnancy and thought I would check out Nancy O'Dell's book. I must say if you are pregnant, you NEED this book. It is easy to read, entertaining and fits perfectly in your purse. Oh my goodness, I remember being shocked about so many of the things she discusses in her book the first time I read it. She is right. You forget about all these things and I had forgotten. I am so glad I picked up the book to remind me this go round. And I am so glad Nancy tells you the positive things about labor and delivery because it is not as horrible as the movies make it out to be. This book is great.

Good Advice, Entertaining, ... but is it realistic for the general public?

I read this book in one day. It's fun unlike all the pregnancy books you will read and it's a nice draw away from the standard sterile medical type reads. I have to say, the biggest accomplishment this book serves for me are all tips she serves from when you are pregnant to delivery and after! Make little notes on the side while you read this. I love the one on one conversation you feel like you're having. You really won't find this kind of advice in other books. This is not a medical book, but more like a friend to friend book. But comfy read for first time moms! Nancy is a Hollywood gal and in reality I still believe she was treated better at the hospital than most of us would. She could afford to interview/hire a baby sitter right away and get the utmost help/attention with breastfeeding and first week baby is back home. These are not realistic expectations for the general public I felt. Overall, I love this book for making me feel sooo much more at ease about L & D!

So much great information!

I gave my wife this book as a gift because this is our first pregnancy. She couldn't put the book down and I got a big thank you for getting it as a gift for her. There were so many helpful tips in the book that we have not read in other pregnancy books! We love this beautiful book and are going to give it to our pregnant couple friends as a gift.

Best Pregnancy Book I've Read-Kid U Not!

I loved this book! It is such an entertaining read and with every story Nancy O'Dell tells, you learn a tip or piece of advice. I've never read one done this way before and I loved its format. It will make a great gift for my pregnant girlfriends as well. I watched Nancy O'Dell on The Today Show talking about her book with Meredith Viera. Meredith went on and on at how great the book is and I must agree!
