What Customers Say About The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy:

loved it. it is a must read. Iovine is hilarious yet very informative on everything you want to know about pregnancy.

I would never use it as a reference guide, but rather as a companion. Lighten up, everybody.

I definitely don't think that this book gives a negative view of pregnancy at all. I am a pregnant, optimistic, self-actualized woman, and I must say that it was downright reassuring to know that I was not the only one who ever flung things across the kitchen in a progesterone-fueled fit.

Wow, I totally disagree with the negative reviews I have read. The Girlfriends' Guide helped me to laugh about it and to realize that I wasn't deficient as a woman or a mother just because I had food aversions and mood swings.

She's not being negative or pessimistic; she's using humor to lighten the mood and to narrate a story about some really weird things that happen when you're pregnant.And she definitely does endorse exercise like yoga and walking and so on, just not necessarily marathon training. There, I'd have to agree with her.It can be so discouraging to read pregnancy reference books (which this is not claiming to be) that say you have to eat 20 servings of veggies a day when you're so sick you can barely down crackers.

This is one of my very favorite books on pregnancy because it seemed so real and honest. I will be passing it along to friends when it is their turn.

Its very cute and fun to read. This is my first pregnancy and I am only 7 weeks along. I already read the whole book. Lots of info. It was the first pregnancy book I read so I guess I can't compare it to others, but I enjoyed it.

Don't waste your time. Vikki's negative view of pregnancy would be hardly missed. Do your self a favor and don't waste you time or money.

This book is more humor than advice, though there are some things to take to heart, but it is not a "real" pregnancy guide (meaning serious book to go by)Take it all with a grain of salt and you will find yourslef laughing throughout and it is worthwhile to have some laughs. Another good one is Belly Laughs.Neither of those books should be the only books you read while pregnant, but if you are looking for humor, get them. Some of the things may be a bit candid or too straightforward, but in a humorous way.
