 Rating 5   Written on June 14, 2008
   Summary: less scary than most pregnancy books
I read this book on a recommendation from a friend when I was preganant with my first child in 2005. Other pregnancy books had a diet for me to follow and lists of do's and don'ts that made me feel I was already doing everything wrong. This book was more straightforward, told you only the serious do's and don'ts and also told some funny instances that provided some comic relief. I felt less judged when I read this book so when my best friend got pregnant, I immediately ordered her this revised edition. I highly recommend.

   Summary: A must read for preggies
This book is hysterical and informative. A fantastic commentary on the more social aspects of being pregnant. I must have read it four times during my pregnancy!

 Rating 1   Written on June 13, 2008
   Summary: A little too much. . .
I received this book as a gift. I was nervous about pregnancy and after reading just a few chapters was even more nervous. The what to expect books are so much more positive and easier to navigate through, answering questions on just what you want to know, and not what you don't. Everyone's pregnancy is different. I think her pregnancies were not the greatest experiences for her. For a first-time mom, sometimes it's nice to know just what is relevant to your own pregnancy. "Girlfriend's Guide" is not my taste, not my humor.

   Summary: stay away from this one if you're looking for the facts of pregnancy
This book was condescending in it's tone - "Don't worry your pretty little head about it! Get a c-section, it's easier to schedule your birth!"

A c-section is MAJOR ABDOMINAL SURGERY, and should never be discussed as an option for anyone unless there is a medical indication.

It also included such gems as "dressing up for your Obstetrician, even when you don't care what your husband thinks of you anymore", and the "watermelon diet".

Stay away from this one if you're looking for factual information on pregnancy and childbirth.

   Summary: Do not buy this book
This book made me feel depressed and scared about pregnancy and birth - exactly the opposite of what I was looking for. Everything is written in a sarcastic way, which I think was meant to be humor. I found it insulting and factually very inaccurate. In fact, some of her statements are irresponsibly incorrect. I would not want her girlfriends as my own. If you want some facts about childbirth without the fear mongering read The Thinking Women's Guide to Birth by Henci Goer. It's old but the facts remain true today and are based on solid research. As for a guide to pregnancy? I'm not going to waste my money on any other books and will just enjoy the next 7 months - whatever it throws at me.
