Belly Laughs, 10th anniversary edition
Belly Laughs, 10th anniversary edition: The Naked Truth about Pregnancy and Childbirth | Jenny McCarthy
12 posts | 24 read | 1 reading
When it first hit bookstores in 2004, actress and new mother Jenny McCarthys Belly Laughs became a New York Timesbestseller, popular for its candid discussion of the joys of pregnancythe gassiness, constipation, queasiness, and exhaustion, plus the forgetfulness, crankiness, and constant worry. Never shy, frequently crude, and always laugh-out-loud funny, McCarthy covers it all in the grittiest of girlfriend detail, from morning sickness and hormonal rage, to hemorrhoids, pregnant sex, and the torture and sweet relief that is delivery. In July 2013, Barbara Walters confirmed that McCarthy would officially become a co-host on The View when it launches its seventeenth season in September. She will surely bring the outspoken humor that has made Belly Laughs such a perennial seller to the hit show.

• Picture from April 30, forgot to post. I am reading this crazy book by Jenny McCarthy; it's hitting the funny bone because of how relatable it is. It's a nice break from all the serious parenting stuff I'm slowly wading through 😜 •

Libby1 Good luck with the parenting lit! It can take over your life! 6y
bibliobliss @Libby1 You are right, it already has!! 😆😬 6y

• Belly and books...just a sample of the books I'd like to get through in the next several months. There might be a theme here •

EchoLogical Super late but congrats on your impending bundle of joy. Lol. Is Baby Logan your first? 6y
MelissaSue81 Congrats!! Happiest Baby on the block was life changing.. maybe life saving!! We actually were able to take a class on it and it was so great! 6y
Krisjericho Congrats! I liked the Hypnobirthing book, but I found the classes more helpful. Also, the only advice I ever give to expecting moms is that if you want a great chance of having the birth you want, whatever that is, get a doula! Totally worth the money. (I‘m not a doula - just a mom who‘s given birth six times in all different ways - hospital, home, natural, epidural, water birth, and even stillbirth. I wish I‘d had a doula with all of them!) 6y

bibliobliss @EchoLogical Thank you 😉 Yes, Logan will be my first child 6y
bibliobliss @MelissaSue81 Thank you ? "Happiest Baby" looks like a very helpful book. And I found it for pennies at a thrift store; I absolutely love thrift store books! 6y
bibliobliss @Krisjericho Thank you 😊 Wow...I'd say you have some serious experience in this department!! Lol So many options available, so many BIG choices; that's why reading and talking to others is so vital to making educated decisions. I'm not sure yet which route I'll take but I know it will be memorable--no doubt!! 6y

I picked up this book after watching Donnie Loves Jenny. I have not been pregnant, but I thought this book was really honest and funny, and it put a different spin on the stories about pregnancy that you tend to hear. Jenny does not hold back, so if you find yourself saying TMI to your friends a lot, this might not be the book for you! 😆

This book was very funny and gave a lot of information (very bluntly) that I have heard from other moms but it was really nice to read it and to know everything is normal. And it‘s a super super fast read.

This is my first baby book so far, thought I'd start with something short. For the most part, Jenny tries too hard to be funny, but a lot of the stuff is definitely relatable. As a disclaimer to any first time mom's, I would tell them not to take this book as gospel. Every person is different and every pregnancy is different. Don't let the horror stories here freak you out! 😱⭐️⭐️⭐️#baby #pregnancy 👶🏻💞💙👶🏻

Seekingtardis I read this when I was preggers too. I enjoyed the comedy of it but it was not very informative. 7y

Funny. Not too informative but very real experiences and thoughts of a new mom to be.

So this was surprisingly difficult to settle on but I went with funny. I read this while pregnant with my son and I feel like it helped prepare me better for the gory details that other books sugar coated. lts my #bestblurb for today's #seasonsreadings.
