Synopsis

The fourth book in Dawn Dais's popular Sh!t No One Tells You series offers honest and “laugh out loud” (Parents) advice for expectant parents

Pregnancy is about more than scanning Pinterest for baby shower themes and registering for ironic onesies. Sometimes, the less flattering aspects of gestation can dim a bit of that so-called pregnancy glow. Not to worry! Dawn Dais is here, ready to shepherd readers through the experience of one human body taking on the task of growing another human body. (Spoiler alert: It’s not always pretty.)

Dawn covers it all, sharing expert lists, tips, warnings, and even a series of Parent-Training Workouts designed to increase readers' tolerance to the various indignities of parenthood, like peeing with an audience and surviving an afternoon in Chuck E. Cheese. The Sh!t No One Tells You About Pregnancy is a must-have guide for expectant moms (and their partners!) who are looking for some counsel, comedy, and camaraderie during their ultimate countdown to parenthood.

While it is entertaining & easy to read without getting bored, it is also a bit alarming for first time Mom's, even with all the humor. What the author does make sure to point out (which is pretty darn important) is tha......more

Goodreads review by Lindsay on March 12, 2024

Fair warning, this is not what I’d call an “informational” pregnancy book. It’s more of an emotional support book. And if you read it trimester by trimester like I did, you will certainly need the support. I felt like the author was my sarcastic, more experienced mom friend talking me off a ledge an......more

Goodreads review by ☘Tara on September 10, 2017

I’ve been through pregnancy three times and I’m done. My last 2 were birth control babies as in my OB/GYN put me on a different pill because I kept getting sick on my previous one and I got pregnant with my first daughter. She switched me to a different pill since that other obviously didn’t work an......more
