Editorial Review:
Just had a baby? Lie down, rest your weary womb, and muster up a rousing cheer! (Shh! Don't wake the baby!) Now, from the author of The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, comes the book all new moms have been waiting for, whether they know it or not. Vicki Iovine talks turkey ... and stitches, and weight loss, and depression, and sex (trying it for the first time after labor and delivery? "Inebriate and Lubricate"). Vicki--yeah, I know I'm calling her by her first name but after reading this book you'll be on a first-name basis with her, too--is funny, informative, and utterly (udderly?) irreverent. New mothers have never had it so good.

Rating:  - Just a warning:
This book is amusing and light to read, but is only useful for BRAND-NEW mothers. I bought it mistakenly thinking there might be some interesting advice on older-baby topics, such as feeding solids, crawling, walking, etc. (I have a 7-month-old daughter).

Rating:  - the girlfriends guide to surviving the first year of motherhood
This book is a must have for all pregnant women and new moms! I bought one copy for myself after the birth of my second son and it kept me laughing and sane through those rough early months. I have bought two other copies of this book since, as gifts. My copy was pretty dog-eared by the end of the first year!
Rating: - Must read for new moms and moms to be
I loved Vicki's pregnancy book so I had to read this one. I wish I started reading it before my baby was born because the first couple of chapters really prepare you for birth. As always, Vicki is very honest about the whole birth process and surviving once you get home. Stuff you won't hear any where else! I highly recommend it.
Rating:  - AWFUL HORRIBLE Book - save your money
I am just starting out in my first pregnancy and am in a wonderfully happy marriage with a very intelligent and supporting husband. I am planning on having a natural home birth with family and friends readily available to help us as we adjust the first few days. I am NOT the target audience for this book. As I got through just the first few pages, my jaw was literally dropping to the floor - not only does the author use inane scare tactics (why you need to scare an already nervous first time mom ...

Rating: - Great-Hard to put down!
this book was great...the FUNNY but true and sometimes scary TRUTH that no one always wants to talk about! It's a MUST read ...it's better to start it while still pregnant since the first chapter is about the hospital and lobor...I loved it!!
