Pregnancy for the Skeptical Woman Sadie Laurens

Pregnancy For The Skeptical Woman takes the reader behind the "glow" of pregnancy and into the belly of beast by addressing everything from trying to conceive to grappling with postpartum stress. A memoir and practical guide, Pregnancy For The Skeptical Woman is an easy to read account of what woman can expect, the good and bad, through nine months of pregnancy and the first weeks of having a baby. This book explains every prenatal test and screening as well as my own experiences with these tests. In addition to the medical experiences, Pregnancy For The Skeptical Woman addresses the minutiae of the baby preparation including everything from the baby registry to the baby shower and nesting. Honest, funny, and designed for contemporary, accomplished women who feel like the exception to all of the baby expectations. This is one of the few books to admit that pregnancy, while exciting, is also terrifying, isolating, and kind of gross.
