Synopsis

The Fat Ladies Club met at antenatal classes and became firm friends. This book is the result of their shared experiences of first-time pregnancy. Nothing is left out, so be prepared to read about their emotions, hormones, and bodily changes—some humorous, some horrendous—as the ladies get ready for motherhood. Forget the textbook theory and settle down for what amounts to an eavesdrop into their girly chats. Did they get stretch marks—how many, where, and what were they like? What happened to their sex lives? Did "it" feel the same afterwards? When did they first feel like a mom? Other books give you the factual stuff, but this alternative guide to the real ins and outs of pregnancy gives advice which all women will learn from.
