Belly Laughs: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth

by Jenny McCarthy

Da Capo Press | December 13, 2005 | Trade Paperback

Oh, the joys of pregnancy! There''s the gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, the forgetfulness, crankiness, and the constant worry. Of course, no woman is spared the discomforts and humiliations of pregnancy, but most are too polite to complain or too embarrassed to talk about them. Not Jenny McCarthy! In the New York Times best-selling Belly Laughs, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthy reveals the naked truth about the tremendous joys, the excruciating pains, and the unseemly disfigurement that go along with pregnancy. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail. From morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery, Belly Laughs is must-read comic relief for anyone who is pregnant, who has ever been pregnant, is trying to get pregnant, or, indeed, has ever been born!

    This was a wonderful book. it gives a very accurate look at pregnancy. Many truths that most of us aren't told about during our first pregnancy but that everyone wants to share with you afterwards. McCarthy shows a humourous side of the wonders of being pregnant. I laughed out loud and in the end shed a few tears. Might have made me nervous to read before I had my first child but allowed me to see the lighter side of the crazy, strange, amazing truths of pregnancy and child birth after my first pregnancy. This makes a wonderful shower gift.

    This book makes you laugh, no matter if you have gone through any of the ordeals or not. The one thing I liked the most is that it is actually informative as well as being a humorous, and quick to read book. I think every woman, and even some men should read this book.
