I loved this book. I thought it was great. It doesn't give medical advice if that is what you are looking for but it sure will make you laugh. I think it is a must have for every pregnant woman. It helps keep your spirits up. Also nice to have a place to jot down notes about your pregnancy. I will buy it for any of my friends that get pregnant.
The truth shall set you free: Perfect for first-timers

It is so refreshing to have honest answers to embarrassing questions. The book was humorous, and blatently honest about all the icky and scary aspects of pregnancy. It's good to know what to expect and know if you are "normal." Humor takes the edge off, and it's somewhat comforting to know what others have gone through. I've loaned the book out several times and everyone has loved it. It comforted friends through pregnancy, and helped me make up my mind not to get pregnant.
Wonderfully informative and funny book

I LOVED this book. I had read all the " medical " type books and this provided a great humorous view on the pregnancy experience. It also gave me a realistic picture of what to expect in the delivery room. I purchase this book as a gift for all my pregnant friends to keep them laughing.
Informative, surprising, and hysterically funny!

Subtitled, "Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You", this book provides a hilariously funny look at the surprising changes pregnancy brings. Informative, supportive, and above all, REAL. By the end of the book, you'll feel like you've been given great advice from your best friend - in fact you'll want Vicki Iovine to BE your best friend! A MUST read for all first time mothers-to-be (and a great choice for second, third, and fourth-time mothers).
An excellent book that takes the mystery out of pregnancy.

I won't repeat the raves that the other reviewers have for the book, but simply expand on them. I too laughed out loud in most of the sections. But, more importantly, instead of giving the usual boo-scary information that pregnancy books share, the book answered my stranger concerns: is it normal to gag when I brush my teeth and why have I had a stuffy nose since conception. And, she gives some really sensible and friendly advice on what to wear while you're pregnant, why you shouldn't be afraid of the amnio, what you really need to buy for the baby at first and what you'll need at the hospital. The funniest and most honest chapter is Men and Pregnancy. My husband could be the poster boy for it. Don't buy it for medical info (there are plenty of other books for that), but, if you are pregnant, buy it and get some peace of mind
