Book Reviews of The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood

Book Review: Great book for a new mom!
Summary: 5 Stars

I loved reading this book throughout the first couple months of my son's life. Vicki Iovine is unassuming and completely not judgemental and has alot of perspectives to offer (hers and her girlfriends). However rewarding it is being a new mom, it can also be difficult. I felt like Vicki not only recognized that, but made light of it. I really appreciated this book... Thank you Vicki!

Summary of The Girlfriends' Guide to Surviving the First Year of Motherhood

The author of the enormously successful Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy brings a mother's wisdom and a girlfriend's candor to the first book in a fresh new series of guides to motherhood. Readers will learn about baby euphoria, postpartum mood swings, salvaging one's sex life, and fitting into that favorite pair of jeans.
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.
