Long description
Every year millions of moms-to-be turn to What to Expect, the earnestly homespun birth-giving bible that has sold more than 14 million copies. These women all need a laugh. Enter The Unexpected When You're Expecting. Sure, having your kidneys double as someone's couch sounds like kind of a downer, which is all the more reason why every pregnant woman needs this hilarious send-up. Combining the best of Knocked Up with Notes from the Underbelly, The Unexpected When You're Expecting is the most entertaining pregnancy book ever, bar none. Mary K. Moore not only covers the 40 weeks of pregnancy, including birth plans (your dreams, a doctor's comic relief) and naming baby (fruit or action verb?), but she also tackles the stupor that is the first six months of baby's life (including mommy's postpartum entrepreneurial syndrome). The Unexpected When You're Expecting intersperses patently ridiculous advice with spot-on humor and tongue-in-cheek illustrations that showcase the absurdity that is pregnancy, plus gestating classics that tell the real truth about pregnancy symptoms-say hello to the breasts of a stripper and the bladder of a Shriner. Brilliant, smart, and funnier than the shape of a newborn's head, The Unexpected When You're Expecting is sure to become every pregnant woman's must-have comic relief.
