What to Expect When You're Expecting
by Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel
by Heidi Murkoff, Sharon Mazel
I wish I read the postpartum section of this book before birthing the boy so that things like getting crazy night sweats didn't take me by such surprise...
I know that LDD is going to just love that I'm reading this book "written by fascists," but hear me out: first, it's been updated and revised so I don't think it's as preachy as you remember it being, and second, I'm reading "Exploiting My Baby" by Teresa Strasser to balance it out (Strasser calls Nancy O'Dell a "stupid c-word" because of how "glowing" she said she was in her pregnancy--she later regrets calling her a "stupid c-word"). It's all about balance :)

Don't say you haven't been warned! ;-) Just don't take it (or any of them, for that matter) too seriously. Never forget that you don't need a so-called "expert" to tell you how to be a mother. You are AWESOME -- Trust Yourself!!!!!
