Book Reviews of The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy: Or everything your doctor won't tell you
Book Review: clever book
Summary: 4 Stars
this book is written in the genre of nanny diaries (in the whiny way cynical people complain). Does make me feel better about hating my pregnancy. It's good to know things will get better in the future without all the preachy hallowed vessel mantra (pregnancy is awesome. you'll love your baby. just let nature take its course. you are sacred.).

Summary of The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy: Or everything your doctor won't tell you
A delivery room veteran gives you the low-down as only the best friend can. From the top ten lies ("Maternity clothes are so much cuter now"), to the long-awaited birth, here are practical tips and hilarious takes on everything pregnant.Beginning with the "10 Greatest Lies About Pregnancy" (number 10: Lamaze works), and ending with postpartum dementia, Vicki Iovine's Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy has fast become the laywoman's mouthpiece for the American pregnancy experience. Iovine is irreverent, sassy, and incredibly reassuring as she exposes the "truths" of pregnancy and childbirth, from sex to cellulite to cesareans. Iovine birthed four kids in six years, none of them twins, which certainly qualifies her as an expert. The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy does reveal Iovine's particular cultural biases (pregnant or not, most of us don't have record-producer husbands, hang out with supermodels, or wear size-four pants) and philosophical beliefs (she's not a particularly strong proponent of natural childbirth or nursing), but, taken with a grain or two of salt, she provides many hilarious moments, acres of advice, and honest reassurance readers will find nowhere else. --Ericka Lutz
